A.T.L.A.S.

Growing up means learning who you are-and who you're willing to become.

Alex Lane is thirteen years old.
He goes to school, hangs out with his friends, and tries to live a normal life.
The problem? He isn't normal. Not even close.

Alex discovers he can control light-and heal with it. A miracle power... with a cruel cost. Every time he uses it, his body weakens, draining him faster than he can recover. And he's not the only one who knows.

A secret organization known as A.T.L.A.S. is watching. Hunting. Waiting for the right moment to take him and turn his gift into an experiment.

But Alex is not alone.

His best friend Ethan Walker, reckless and stubborn, would risk everything for him. So would Liam, Theo, Ivy, Zoe, Lana, and Chloe-a group bound by loyalty stronger than fear. His brother John Lane refuses to let him die.

But Alex's biggest secret isn't his powers-
-it's that he's already falling for Ethan.

This is not a story about having powers. It's about surviving them.
