The Hallow Charon - In a city where power is regulated, weaponized, and erased when convenient, Calder Valen survives by carrying the cost no one else will. Known on the streets as The Hallow Charon, Calder is a super-powered enforcer for hire-his body able to reshape itself into living armor, his flesh impervious to harm. But every blow he absorbs must be paid for. Within twenty-four hours, the damage he takes must be passed on to another living being... or claimed by the nearest soul. When Calder is hired to protect an illegal user whose powers are the only thing keeping her brother alive, his rigid code begins to fracture. Hunted by the Guild-a morally gray authority that controls all super-powered activity-Calder is forced to confront a truth he's spent years avoiding: survival built on violence always leaves a debt. As the hunt tightens and the lines between hunter and hunted collapse, Calder faces an adversary who embodies the Guild itself-an enforcer who can steal and wield the powers of others, yet has never learned to pay their price. In a world that demands someone always bear the cost, The Hallow Charon is a dark, mythic anti-hero novel about consequence, control, and what happens when one man refuses to let the innocent pay for a broken system.
