Twenty years ago, the legendary Sentinels vanished during a catastrophe known as the Black Aurora.
Now, as a cosmic gateway tears open the sky once more, five broken adults are chosen to wear the armor they never asked for.
Marcus Vale, Lena Cross, Victor Reyes, Mara Quinn, and Boone Riker are not perfect heroes. They are survivors carrying grief, guilt, addiction, rage, trauma, and loss. Each of them is barely holding their life together when an ancient power reaches across the universe and marks them as Earth's last defense.
But the armor does not choose the fearless.
It chooses the wounded.
When monstrous beings born from human suffering begin invading Earth, these damaged strangers must become a team before the world collapses under the weight of its own pain. Their enemies are not just alien creatures - they are nightmares shaped by addiction, grief, debt, regret, shame, and rage.
As the Sentinels learn to fight together, they uncover a terrifying truth: the armor that chose them may not be a gift. It may be part of something much darker.
To save humanity, they must face an enemy who knows the secret behind the Sentinel power - and decide whether the force that made them heroes is Earth's greatest hope... or its final undoing.
SENTINELS: The Broken Become Chosen is a cinematic adult superhero sci-fi novel about trauma, redemption, found family, cosmic warfare, and the terrifying strength it takes to keep going when life has already tried to destroy you.
