By Ricky K Rivers

The day the sky exploded, Emmett Klein lost his brother-and the world stopped being free.

After The Event, ordinary people woke with extraordinary abilities and a new regime called One World rose from the chaos, promising peace while tightening its grip.

Seventeen-year-old Emmett Klein has already lost more than most. His older brother vanished in the aftermath, and everyone, even Emmett's own family, has accepted he's gone for good. Emmett hasn't.

Then a mysterious figure named Ganz attacks, and Emmett discovers a truth even he didn't know: he isn't just another powered teenager. He's one of the Bases; seventeen individuals connected to the origin of power itself.

Now One World wants him. A dangerous underground resistance wants him, too. And Emmett-no soldier, no symbol-must decide who to trust before he's captured, turned into a weapon... or erased entirely.

In a world built on control, hope is a rebellion.

Perfect for fans of superpowered dystopias, underground resistance, and high-stakes conspiracies.
