Perry Bennett was just fine with his group of friends, burgeoning romantic entanglement, and blooming academic career until he received a gift he could not return. Fresh from a summer of training to be the Zion, a mythical being destined to combat the forces of darkness and guardian of the mystical Infernum Gate, Perry is forced to confront not only his new supernatural destiny, but his family's own dark secrets. Urged by his father, and guide, to keep his growing powers a secret from his friends and family, he is tasked with getting to the bottom of a series of murders that coincide with his ascension to Zion. His life is further complicated when he inherits a dagger capable of killing any being who is attacked with it. The dagger brings with it a new set of enemies who seek to destroy not only him, but those around him. Perry must confront the dysfunction that comes with being the Zion while navigating rapidly more awkward teenage life, while keeping the biggest secret of his life and confronting a growing darkness in Solstice Hills. Because nobody makes Hallmark cards for letting the world end. He's checked. [Book 1 of the Zion Chronicles]
