Redstone City, Alabama, is home to NASA engineers, football legends, and something much older: gods who never left, vampires who keep their word, and werewolves who run beneath the moonlit pines of Bankhead.
When Cadence Cade Vance arrives at Redstone City University, he expects an ordinary freshman year: new roommates, early classes, late-night coffee. Instead, he finds a world where the air hums with unseen patterns and old names still whisper through brick and steel. His new roommate, the quiet and unsettlingly self-possessed Kendrel Arcane, seems to recognize those patterns-and perhaps Cade himself-in ways no stranger should.
When Cadence Cade Vance arrives at Redstone City University, he expects an ordinary freshman year: new roommates, early classes, late-night coffee. Instead, he finds a world where the air hums with unseen patterns and old names still whisper through brick and steel. His new roommate, the quiet and unsettlingly self-possessed Kendrel Arcane, seems to recognize those patterns-and perhaps Cade himself-in ways no stranger should.
As the two young men settle into the rhythm of campus life, something ancient begins to wake beneath the university lawns and riverbanks. Shadows stir in the old opera house. The city's myths of wolves and vanished gods start to move again. And Cade discovers that what's changing inside him isn't chance or stress, but legacy-an inheritance older than science, older than the South itself.
Bound by friendship and a growing sense of purpose, Cade and Kendrel must learn what it means to carry power in a world that pretends magic died out long ago. But some secrets never stay buried, and in Rocket City, even ordinary lives can take extraordinary shape.
A Southern Gothic tale of friendship, legacy, and quiet miracles-where the divine hides in dorm rooms, and the line between myth and memory blurs with every sunrise.
