MONSTER OF THE UNKNOWN
Almost a millenium ago, the dear world we live in was almost destroyed when the superhumans we call "zegens" created a creature too powerful for them to control. Their monstrosity - Feto - would have ended humanity as we know it if not for the intervention of the courageous heroes who risked their lives to seal it away. Many centuries later, in 2023, the new generation of the Zomer (the cult that nearly inadvertently caused the apocalypse) is back and they are now targeting Aaron, a teenage zegen orphan living in Brussels, Belgium. Little by little, with the help of his classmates - Mathéo, Sara and Laura - the boy unravels the secrets behind his conception and the four adolescents are all roped into an iniquitous plot that's much bigger than all of them. What truly happened to Aaron's parents for them to have abandoned him? Why is the Zomer so interested in him? Could any of this be connected to Feto?
