After gaining teleportation powers in a tragic accident that, depending on who you ask, may have been entirely his fault, Ethan is on the brink of reaching his goal and becoming Ascension's newest Protector. It cost him every relationship he had, but nobody said purposefully altering your DNA to become a superhero would be easy. Things would be a lot easier if Ethan also hadn't accidentally created the newest supervillain to roam Ascension, armed with incredible powers and a seeming vendetta against his sister, the mighty Protector known as Titan. And it'd be great if the breach points popping up in the mountains outside of Ascension and moving ever closer weren't directly related to Ethan gaining abilities in the first place, but nobody has to know about that part, right? Ethan can keep it all a secret if he can team up with an eccentric Apex scientist to fix the breaches before they swallow Ascension whole and stop Slate before she kills Titan. Then nobody would have to know it was all his fault in the first place, right? He'd also like to get his best friend Raz talking to him again, but that may be the hardest goal to achieve of them all. Ethan can go anywhere he wants, but he'll soon find out that the only way to fix what he's broken is to stay put. Unfortunately for him, after you burn every bridge you've ever crossed, staying in one place has an unpleasant side effect: It makes you a pretty easy target.

They lied to me. My own family. My so-called friends. All of them hiding the truth, that we're tied to the criminal underworld, a forte where my family, the Storms, are the undisputed kings. Then everything falls apart. My dad gets framed. My cousin ends up dead. And the boy I've had a childhood crush on-Nathaniel-turns out to be the one who could destroy me. At least Luke, the one person I shouldn't want, fights to keep me from breaking... but even he has secrets. But it's gets even worse, because now an organization is rising from the shadows, an organization that opposes everything my family stands for. And in a family of warmongers and sociopaths, I stood out as a glaring weakness. The most normal, the most vulnerable, and the most efficient way to end a dynasty that has ruled for centuries. Because what is a throne without an heir, and a crown without its king. So here I am, stuck in a game of blood and betrayal where the only way to survive is to stop being the fragile girl they thought I was. If I have to burn bridges, spill blood, and embrace the monster inside me, then so be it. Because this time, I'm not running from my darkness. I'm becoming it.
