Zach Dawson is a seemingly ordinary high-school student, with all the usual issues. He struggles with girls and friends, finds it hard to fit in, and has great difficulty finding out who he will become. One day, his life changes forever when he discovers he isn't human. He is something much more powerful. Will Zach fulfill the prophecy that was written thousands of years ago? Will he accept his fate and save those that mean the most to him? Only time will tell...
This is a book I've been working on for the past three years, and hope to get some feedback before I decide to publish it. The Century Series is a tale of love, lies, heroes, villains, and a whole lot of ass-kicking.
The Waking is Book 1 of 5.
Enjoy!

The Living Shadow: Phantom Heart
He was just an ordinary boy living an ordinary life... until the shadow found him. ******** Not a darkness to fear, not a curse to bear, but a presence older than humanity itself, born from the deepest corners of the Earth. It has existed quietly, unseen, unnoticed, until now. The shadow entered him, and suddenly nothing was the same. It doesn't hurt him, but he cannot tell what it wants-or why it chose him. Its whispers, its movements, its presence are a mystery, and he must learn to live with something he cannot understand. As days pass, the boy begins to notice the world differently: hidden patterns, quiet truths, and glimpses of a reality no one else can see. With every heartbeat, the shadow remains, silent yet undeniable, a presence that changes everything without ever causing harm. In a story of mystery, wonder, and unseen bonds, he will discover that some companions are not meant to be understood, some hearts are never truly alone, and some shadows have always been part of the world-waiting.
