Sixteen-year-old Samuel Powers lives a life that's as ordinary as it gets for a Brooklyn teenager - until it isn't. One seemingly normal school field trip to a science museum irrevocably alters the course of his life. A freak accident involving an experimental energy source leaves Sam unconscious for a week, a week that transforms him from an ordinary high school student into something extraordinary. Upon awakening, Sam discovers he possesses the incredible power of Chronokinesis - the ability to manipulate time. This isn't just about rewinding a dropped pen; Sam can slow down time, speed it up, and even jump across different moments. His world is forever changed, and so is everything he thought he knew about himself. The journey ahead is fraught with danger, and the challenges he faces are both internal and external. He must learn to control his unpredictable powers, navigate the complexities of high school, and deal with the pressure of being the only person who can protect his community. His best friend, Jayka, is his constant support, providing the anchor he needs as he grapples with this incredible gift and the responsibility it brings. But as Sam delves deeper into his powers, he uncovers a hidden world of temporal threats, and the line between ordinary and extraordinary becomes increasingly blurred.

It's about accepting responsibility, using your abilities for good, and understanding that even superheroes need friends to navigate life's trials and triumphs. Get ready to embark on an adventure filled with thrilling action, heart-stopping suspense, and a whole lot of time-bending excitement.

In the city of NYC---
Ok. Hold up. First of all, New York City. What, are ya gonna assume everyone here knows what NYC is? Anyway, this is about two people. I can almost hear you rolling your eyes. Another cliché teen fiction with a bad boy and a good girl? Nope. This is about superheroes. I can still hear you rolling your eyes. Superheroes. Like in comic books? Like people with super speed and mutant powers? Yes. But this isn't about the fight they have. More about the lives they lead without the masks. But just keep in mind, people who live in the world have all different skin colours. Do not assume my characters are of one unless I state them explicitly. and diversity is welcome here in my novel!
Anyhow, back to the story. Ever wonder where supervillains go after their fight with the hero? What about the other side of the story? It's not like they sit in their lair cackling all day and planning how to kidnap reporters. What about the lives they lead? And instead of just focusing on that, what if the superhero and the supervillain knew each other? I mean, can they see behind the mask? No, so their identities are secret. So what if the hero and villain were best friends? What if they were roommates? What if they were falling for each other? And what happens when they find out?
Now, I assume you know all of these questions will be answered in this book. But hold on. It's going to take a while. You're in for a bumpy ride. And if any of you got any of the references in this description, give yourself a pat on the back. That is a beautiful thing. And if you can name all the references in this book, you truly are a gift to mankind.
Fangirl out.
