Jason thought visiting his comatose grandmother would be the hardest part of his day. But something is wrong with the hospital. The lights flicker without reason. The mirrors don't reflect just him. And the Veil-the barrier between our world and something far darker-is beginning to tear. When a shadow creature emerges from the hallway and speaks inside his mind, Jason's buried powers awaken. Glowing armor. Flickering energy. A voice that says, "They've noticed you too." Saved by a mysterious axe-wielding man, Jason is thrown into a hidden war between reality and the creatures trying to devour it. But he's not ready. Not trained. Not armed. And the Veil is only getting thinner. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, supernatural thrillers, and coming-of-age power awakenings. Armor. Monsters. Memory. And the price of waking up.
