    *** His parents are legends. He craves adventure. He may just get more than he bargained for… Theo Kane has lived in the shadows his entire life. Son to two legendary parents, all he’s ever wanted is to follow in their footsteps and have adventures of his own. When they were 16, they were taking on and defeating evil in the shape of High Chancellor Augustus Knight. Theo, at the same age, finds himself stuck in the quiet wooded region of Lignum, a fire raging inside him that yearns to be unleashed. Because Theo isn’t just any young man. Along with his best friend, Ajax, son to great heroes himself, he has a power locked deep down inside, one that both of them have been trying to set free. But with their parents warning against it, they’ve had to act in secret, sneaking off into the woods at night to hunt the beasts that prowl there. Night after night, they test themselves against the worst threats they can find. But none compare to what’s brewing in the darkness. One evening, however, their quiet world erupts into life. When heroes start falling around the country, Theo and Ajax find themselves on a path neither of them could have predicted. Someone is taking out those involved in the war 20 years ago, and the two young men are about to find themselves right in the centre of the action. Soon enough, their desire for adventure will be realised. Only, they might just have bitten off more than they can chew.

    For generations, the Riker men have been the best of the best. For the Battleborn that comes with a cost. *** I had to give the other guy credit. That was a fine right hook. Every bit as good as my mom used to give me. Of course, the best right hooks were the ones I landed on the other guy rather than the ones the other guy landed on me. My dear departed mother had always taught me it was better to give than receive. It’s unlikely that her cherished advice was meant to apply to bar fights, but then, she wasn’t a big fan of bars or fights in general. I spit out the blood in my mouth. My name is Tad Riker. I serve as a tactical weapons officer for the Wolves, but I was raised by the Stallions. The poor unfortunate reprobate, who was even now feeling the wrath of my fist, was serving as an armorer for the Stallions. That’s why I took this fight so personally . . . not that he was an armorer, but that he was a Stallion.
