Self ApproveD
Growing up broke in Livingstone, Rayne Ades never expected life to hand him anything except dust, school fees, and responsibility. He was just trying to live a simple life, keep his sisters fed, and stay out of trouble.
Then the night came with three knocks on his door.
Chosen by the PACT-NET System, Rayne becomes one of the Awakened — a hidden group of humans bonded to ancient bloodlines and granted supernatural power. His ability is fire that burns everything to ash, including himself. His phone becomes his only guide, flashing alerts, warnings, and a countdown he doesn’t understand.
Transported into a war he never asked for, he finds himself facing terrible monsters pulled from European myth: Banshees that kill with three knocks, Wraiths that hunt the Livingstone railway at night, and things worse that wear human faces. Worse still, other Awakened see him as a threat.
What’s worse, the divine power he received comes with a fatal side effect: every time he uses it, it burns his own life away. And somewhere near the Old Bridge, the wind is starting to call his name.
To survive, Rayne must register with Iron Veil Division, learn to control the flame before it kills him, and decide if he’ll fight the monsters… or become one.
