[The Gifted Ones 01] • The Descending Darkness

Super strength, enhanced reflexes, biological immortality, and his own castle to live in…most people would say seventeen-year-old SHADOW has a pretty simple life.

Except he’s half-vampire so sunlight can kill him. And he has major issues because his father murdered his mother when he was a baby. And he'll do anything to get the information he needs in order to avenge his mother's death - including making a deal to save the world from impending doom.

Unfortunately, Shadow can't do it alone. He’s forced to recruit other teens with super powers in the hopes that together, they'll be strong enough to defend the world from the latest threat - a murderous, shoe-loving, fashion-obsessed, super diva named MAEDARA.

Shadow’s not used to working with others. Which is a problem, considering he has to teach the teens how to work together as a team. He also has to somehow convince them that fighting against the forces of evil is more important than against each other. And in the middle of it all, there might be a traitor in his midst.

Maybe his life isn’t so simple after all.
