Description
Welcome to the captivating debut novel by the talented B.C. Charles-Starfall. This fast-paced, high-energy story introduces a rich tapestry of complex characters and sets the stage for an unfolding epic, perfect for superhero lovers of all ages.
Meet Nathan Hawkins, a bullied social outcast with a secret: he has the unsettling ability to create and control fire. When a family history project leads him to uncover that his father may have been involved in researching a mysterious object that crashed into a nearby forest two decades ago-an object known as Starfall-Nathan's life takes an unexpected turn.
This revelation propels him into a quest for discovery, where he encounters a teenage cult that worships Starfall, led by another outcast with superpowers who seeks vengeance against those who have wronged him and Nathan. Now, Nathan faces a critical choice: will he join the cult, or will he stand against it?
"The author's concise prose sets an unwavering pace, even as Nathan conducts his research and characters chat, bicker, and occasionally voice their regrets.... Relatable and superpowered youths lead a sublime cast and a riveting story." - - Kirkus Reviews
