Fade ; Rise of the Shadows

HEROES ARE CREATED, NOT BORN.
Anyone can become a hero if they choose to save someone's life over theirs. You don't need superpowers.
***************************
Alecsander Reiynes has never been noticed by anyone. Everyone who sees him looks on, not noticing the scrawny brunette boy with the startling blue eyes. He's the thirteenth child of a poor household. No one, not even his own parents, payed much attention to him.
At school it was no different. He always faded into the background.
Unseen of.
Unheard of.
Then he fades.
He gains supernatrual abilities and a time limit on his life.
Lysander is just like him.
Iris is alike the two of them but at the same time different.
She's a gem in the dirt.
She's the key to unlock the end of the world or to save it.
She only has to choose which kind she is.
This is their gripping tale of love, secrets, betrayal and hope.
Together, in a drastic change of events, Alec, Iris and Lysander, even with the death bomb constantly hanging over their heads, become the answer to all of the Republic of the Royals problems.
THE REPUBLIC NEEDED HEROES. SO THEY MADE THEM.
