In Greytown, nothing is ever black and white. Made up of six districts, The Grey Bayou has always been a place where evil runs rampant and citizens find themselves deprived of justice. And no one knows that better than Kenya Manefield and his family. Returning home from college, Kenya seeks to make things better for his hometown and for those closest to him. He soon finds out, however, that cleaning up his city is a tall order. One that consists of rooting out political corruption, facing sociopathic criminals, and discovering mysteries that are deep-seeded in Greytown AND his family's history. Before he can get any traction going in his mission, Kenya winds up realizing-with almost at a great cost to his life-that conventional methods won't work against the sinister kingpin of Greytown who calls himself The Orca. In order to win, he'll have to take on a more radical approach. One that will catapult him into the realm of the animal kingdom-giving birth to a new superhero-and forever changing Kenya's world as he knows it. For Kenya's father Malcolm, he's been a witness to a mission like this once before, and has no intentions of seeing a second act. But knowing his son, Malcolm won't have a choice but to aid Kenya along the way to keep him alive. Join the highly talented author JOSH HOLSTON on this YA fantasy as he brings forth a new world filled with fantastic characters facing real-life issues that the black culture endures everyday.

A hundred years after wars and pandemics destroyed most of humanity, the country of Evergreen stands behind towering walls - safe, isolated, and divided. Inside the High City, Stella lives a life of privilege, surrounded by wealth and comfort under the shining towers of Green Corp - the last surviving tech conglomerate. Thirty kilometers away, beyond another wall, Jake, a mechanic from the Low City, repairs the robots that keep Evergreen running, unaware of the secrets buried beneath their circuits. And in the shadows of Red Comet, Lesley, a 17-year-old orphan caught in illegal trades, dreams of freedom he's never known. Their worlds were never meant to meet. But when the balance inside Evergreen begins to crumble, the skies that divide them may finally reveal the truth that could change everything - or destroy what's left of it.
