Would anyone know of any books that involve a character who's specifically genetically/magically engineered/"bred" to be the Chosen One, or come from a magic bloodline — but they're not the Chosen One.
Could focus on this character, the "actual" Chosen One if they exist, or the people trying to engineer them.
Bonus points if the story involves grappling with a huge existential threat that will make characters consider doing some pretty extreme things, and a generational cycle of conflict that can make even loving parental (figure) relationships kind of toxic as they pull their children in.
Adult fantasy would be preferred, but suggestions from any genre or age range are definitely welcome! Thanks so much!

It sounds like you’d enjoy reading Frank Herbert‘s **Dune**.
