When ten-year-old Cormac Bearson watches his family home burn to the ground, he escapes with nothing but one devastating truth: he was not strong enough to save them. Not strong enough to break down his brother's door. Not strong enough to be anything but the boy who got out while everyone else burned. Standing in the snow, barefoot and alone, he makes a silent, unbreakable vow. He will never be helpless again.
From the battlefields of Qamar to the corridors of the Senate, Cormac is relentless. A decorated soldier. A tactical genius. A man forged by grief into something the world has never seen. When a landmine takes half his leg on a classified mission, three scientists offer him the impossible: a nanite treatment that can regrow what he lost. It works. And it is only the beginning.
Enhancement by enhancement, he transforms. Armored skin. The strength of a grizzly. Venomous silk that shoots from his palms. Eyes that burn red with everything he has consumed. The scientists who made him grow uneasy. The people who believed in him quietly disappear. And the secrets buried along the way grow heavier than any medal pinned to his chest.
By the time Cormac Bearson becomes President Bear, the boy in the snow is barely a memory. But the wound that made him has never healed. And a wound that never heals never stops driving you forward.
If you loved Divergent, The Hunger Games, or Maze Runner, you'll love President Bear, the explosive origin story that started it all. Because every monster was once a boy standing in the cold, deciding that the world would never hurt him again.
The only question is: what did it cost him to keep that promise?
