CHOSEN BOOK 1 - THE BIRTH OF A HERO

KEO_KROSTOS
In Manhattan, New York City, fifteen-year-old Justin Jackson is haunted by the tragedy known as the 7/15 Incident—a catastrophic incident unleashed by his father’s failed scientific experiment. Thousands were affected, and though Justin had no part in it, the city cast its blame on him. Labeled the son of a monster, he grows up ostracized, bitter, and questioning whether people are even worth saving. But the past refuses to stay buried. His father’s last gift—a strange pendant—reveals itself to be the hidden core of a legendary artifact: the Cube, said to hold power without limits. As Justin searches for answers, he is forced to confront the truth behind his father’s work—secrets that could change everything he thought he knew about his family and the disaster that ruined his life. When a transformative event awakens the pendant’s energy, Justin is thrust into a world of extraordinary powers, ancient secrets, and dangerous enemies who covet the Cube’s strength. Cynicism collides with responsibility as Justin must decide: will he give in to his bitterness, or rise as the hero no one believes he can be? The fate of not only the city—but perhaps the world—will rest on the choice of a boy everyone has already condemned. This is where Justin Jackson’s story begins—The Birth of a Hero. First book of the series.
