THE STORM AWAKENED HIM.
THE WORLD ISN'T READY FOR WHAT COMES NEXT.
Kai Thorne just wanted to help.
When a girl is stranded off the coast during a violent storm, Kai dives in to save her-only to be struck by lightning and pulled into a world that shouldn't exist.
He awakens to find the storm answered to him... and that the god who once commanded it still lives-Thor, his father.
But Kai isn't a superhero. He's just a kid trying to make sense of why thunder follows him now. Why lightning crackles at his fingertips. Why ancient runes appear in the sand when he walks. His mother has secrets. His best friend is caught in the crossfire. And something dark-something old-is watching.
And it's not just watching him.
All across the world, children of forgotten gods are waking up. Their powers are raw. Their bloodlines are divine. And their lives are in danger.
Because when Kai awakens, he doesn't just bring back the thunder.
He tears open the sky-and through it slips The Veil.
A force older than any pantheon. A hunger left over from the collapse of realms. They devour the power of gods... and now they're coming for their children.
Book One: Son of the Storm - The First Reckoning
is the explosive start of a modern myth-fantasy saga where storms speak, death walks beside you, and the fate of the world depends on gods who never planned to be parents.
MEET THE FIRST WAVE OF LEGENDS:
Kai, son of Thor - born in a storm, learning to master it
Devon, a mortal who chooses war without needing a god to bless it
Leon, son of Ares - trained in fists and fire, but haunted by silence
Rhea, daughter of the Nile - and something far older than the grave
Together, they are the first defense against a rising enemy-one that seeks to erase every divine bloodline from existence.
But Kai isn't here to save the gods.
He's here to save the people he loves.
And if that means burning the sky in the process?
So be it.
