The Wave: Book 1 Catalyst
Everyone over sixteen got a power. Not everyone stayed human.
Four years ago, the world changed in a single night. A global phenomenon-now known as The Wave-rewrote the genetic code of every person past puberty, unlocking unique and unpredictable abilities in billions. Superpowers became reality. So did chaos.
Now, the world teeters on a fragile edge between evolution and collapse.
Dominic Scotia is only twelve, but his life has already been shattered by what power can do. His mother, Viora, was a revered Guardian-one of the world's most respected heroes. His father, Rayner, known as Titan Forge, was even stronger... until grief, rage, and betrayal pushed him past a line no hero should ever cross.
As the remnants of the Guardian team scramble to rebuild trust and purpose, Dominic watches the world reshape itself around him-while secretly fearing what might awaken inside himself.
Meanwhile, Daisy Carter, a young genius working with NovaTech, fights to restore order through science and compassion. And Jack Donovan-now operating under the codename Veil-dives into the shadows to uncover a conspiracy far deeper than any of them imagined.
What begins as a story of loss becomes a war against silence, fear, and the myth of invincibility.
The Wave: Book One - Catalyst is a grounded, emotionally-driven superhero epic that asks: What if everyone had a power, but no one knew what to do with it? It's about found family, fractured legacies, and the quiet revolution that begins when a boy decides to stop watching from the sidelines.
Perfect for fans of Invincible, The Boys, and X-Men-but told through a lens of humanity, responsibility, and resistance.
