Bonebound (Marrowdrive, #1)

Oren Kai was never supposed to be a weapon. Once a promising bioengineer, he was thrust into a brutal war where survival required pushing the boundaries of human capability. In an experiment gone wrong, Oren unlocked the ability to weaponize his own bones, turning his body into a living arsenal. As Marrowdrive, he can instantaneously grow and shape bone into deadly weapons?daggers, blades, and spikes?extending from his skin. His unique physiology allows him to regenerate his bones after every battle, healing at an accelerated rate. In combat, he is a relentless, terrifying force, striking with unflinching precision and using his jagged bone armor to defend against any assault.

However, every bone he regenerates comes with excruciating pain. The sensation of his body restructuring itself is so intense it can bring him to the brink of unconsciousness. Oren's dark humor and introspective nature are his coping mechanisms, helping him endure the agony while keeping his mind intact. Beneath the grim exterior, he hides a man haunted by what he's become?more weapon than person. Despite the torment, he continues to fight, driven by an inner conflict: is he still human, or has he become something else entirely?
