This is my current query (subject to change):

Its been fifteen years since the Switching Sacrifice. It was at this celebrated event, that supporters of the Purple Oaks, selflessly gave up their infant children to surrogate families to protect the identities of the heirs of two ancient magical bloodlines.

Now the time has come for these forty-seven potentials to return to the Zealot and the Pilgrim to find out the truth about who they are.

Oran and Elin are two of the forty-seven. Both would give anything not to be. Their friendship begins in the depths of Hell, in a dream they share the first night they meet. The bond between them grows quickly, as do their feelings for each other.

Elin takes on the role as Oran’s protector, shielding him from his father’s relentless bullying and cruelty. Oran shows Elin there’s still hope, even in the presence of great darkness.

They join forces with four other potentials, navigating a hostile world where they’re relentlessly pursued by an elite group of royal guards known at the Toads.

It all leads to the Zealot and the Pilgrim, where they learn their fate and find out nothing is as it seems.
