Fourteen-year-old Kevin is a shadow in the system, a hardened orphan who has spent his life pushing people away. He doesn’t want a family, and he certainly doesn't want to be a hero—he just wants to be left alone. But his isolation ends when he is adopted by Zen, a mysterious man who brings him to a secluded mansion and reveals a terrifying truth: humanity is being hunted by an ancient, invisible threat.
Swept into a secret society known as the Slayers, Kevin must undergo grueling training to unlock the Power of the Star. As the youngest in a new generation of warriors, he is forced to trade his volatile temper for the discipline of the light. In this high-octane blend of modern myth and urban fantasy, the boy who never wanted anyone must decide if he is willing to lead them all. This is a gritty tale of found family, tactical warfare, and a loner discovering what it truly means to belong.
