To hunt the immortals who killed his mother, Derek has to become one of them.
To hunt the immortals who killed his mother, Derek Kael has to become one of them.
A planet-wide blackout destroys Derek's old life. When Alyssa, a centuries-old mercenary, rescues him, she reveals the truth buried in his blood: a dormant gene has awakened, and with it, abilities that can make him something more than human.
But power has to be earned.
Under Alyssa's brutal training, Derek learns to control his changing body and survive the hidden war surrounding him. Then he's given his first mission: infiltrate Eri, a woman tied to the faction responsible for the attack.
Get close. Earn her trust. Turn her against her own.
The deeper Derek goes, the less simple his revenge becomes. Alyssa is keeping secrets. Eri is not the enemy he expected. And every new ability brings him closer to the immortals he hates, and farther from the man he used to be.
