Jack Stevens is an 18-year-old high school senior, living an ordinary life until the day he learns of his father's mysterious death. Raised by his mother, Jack grew up believing his father had died in a simple accident, but when strange abilities awaken within him after a near-death experience, he begins to suspect there was more to his father's past. A fan of anime and comics, Jack quickly recognizes that his newfound powers-enhanced agility, strength, and reflexes-may have been inherited, but they stayed dormant until now.
Determined to uncover the truth about his father's death, Jack teams up with Trinity (T), a mysterious transfer student who also possesses abilities and shares a strange connection to Jack's father. Together, they set out to find others with powers like theirs, all while trying to stay under the radar of the shadowy forces that seem to be watching their every move.
As Jack dives deeper into this world of powers, secrets, and hidden enemies, he must navigate the dangers ahead, balancing the normal life of a teenager with the heavy burden of his father's legacy.
**Novel Description:**
In a world where heroes walk a razor-thin line between justice and brutality, *Blink* follows Benji, a 17-year-old raised in an isolated Japanese temple by a powerful but powerless blind Sensei. Benji and his fellow students possess extraordinary abilities, trained to show mercy in a world that offers none. But when a betrayal from within leads to a devastating assault on their temple by deadly assassins with terrifying powers, Benji's belief in the path of restraint is shattered.
As his rage and power spiral out of control, Benji discovers a dangerous side of himself he's struggling to contain-one that threatens to consume him entirely. Grappling with the death of his mentor and the betrayal of his brother-in-arms, Benji must decide if he will continue to walk the path of mercy, or embrace the darkness and violence that calls to him. In this gritty, action-packed story, the lines between hero and villain blur, and mercy may be the most dangerous weakness of all.
