THE BROKEN NIGHT

The New Scions: Book One

Eighteen-year-old Alexis Rain has always been different—gifted with perfect memory, needing little sleep, and drawn to the darkness of night. But when tragedy strikes her family and a mysterious stranger begins stalking her, Alexis discovers that everything she thought she knew about herself was a lie.

As strange abilities begin to manifest and grow stronger with each passing day, Alexis learns she's not alone. Others like her walk among mortals, hiding in plain sight. But someone is hunting them, eliminating these gifted individuals one by one. When her best friend Keats is kidnapped, Alexis must embrace whatever she's becoming and navigate a dangerous world where ancient forces still meddle in mortal affairs. With enemies closing in and cosmic powers at play, she'll discover that her very existence threatens the balance between worlds she never knew existed.

Racing against time to save the person she loves most, Alexis must learn to wield powers she barely understands while uncovering a conspiracy that reaches into the highest echelons of both divine and human worlds. But in a game played by gods, even the most powerful players may find themselves outmatched.

The Broken Night is an urban fantasy that blends Greek mythology with contemporary coming-of-age themes, perfect for readers who enjoy stories of hidden worlds, emerging powers, and the bonds that define us.
