Dragon blade: a new dawn (book 1)

Gabriel never wanted to be the one people depended on. The last hope. The hero. He was just a kid trying to find his place in the world, constantly living in his father's shadow. A brilliant scientist, but a distant father. Gabriel already had enough on his plate: bullies, a fractured family, and a city slowly swallowing itself whole. But as his life began to unravel, it happened..the accident that changed everything, awakening something inside him: superpowers.

As his abilities began to surface and the pressure mounted, the city's problems didn't fade; they escalated. Crime, corruption, and chaos were everywhere. The people were drowning, struggling to keep a float, clinging to whatever hope they could find. And in their cries, they begged for a saviour, someone to pull them from the abyss. But in a city like this, nothing comes easy. Power always comes at a cost. And the debt this city demands? It never stops collecting.

When Gabriel uncovers secrets buried close to home, and the true source of his power, he's forced to choose: step into the light and become the hero the city needs, or fall into the same darkness that consumed his father.

Dragonblade: A New Dawn is a gritty urban fantasy superhero origin story, packed with betrayal, street crime, family tension, and a powerful awakening. If you're a fan of Miles Morales, Black Panther, Static Shock, or Invincible, this is the series for you.
