Monsters are real... and he might be the worst one of all.
Mikey Black doesn’t understand what’s wrong with him. Every foster home ends the same way: people get sick—really sick. No one can explain it, but everyone blames him.
He’s spent years isolated, convinced he’s cursed. Until a violent encounter at school exposes something deeper—an energy inside him that reacts when he’s threatened. One that others can feel. One that monsters can sense.
Now Mikey’s being pulled into a hidden world where ancient powers, vampire bloodlines, and monster-hunters collide. Taken to a place called Haven, he’s told he’s part of a war he never knew existed… and that his abilities are unlike anything they’ve seen before.
They say he needs training. They say it’s for his protection.
But Mikey knows better.
They’re afraid of what he might become.
He is too.
