Dark Force

By Nathan Ritchey

​It started as a dare. It ended as a war.
​Oakhaven was a quiet town until the night the orphanage woke up. When Nick, Toni, and Slayter broke into the ruins of Whispering Walls, they expected ghosts. Instead, they unlocked ancient energies that granted them terrifying abilities-and painted a target on their backs.
​Now, as the Dark Force, they are the only thing standing between their home and an underworld of eldritch cults and corporate nightmares. But playing hero has a bloody price. When a sadistic assassin named Death Smile targets their families, the game changes. Innocence is incinerated, their leader is left scarred and masked in iron, and their mentor is taken.
​Broken, burned, and hunted, the team must decide how much of their humanity they are willing to sacrifice to win. From the fog-choked shores of a cursed island to a final, frozen stand in the blizzard of the century, this is the story of three kids who went into the dark... and the soldiers who came back out.
