Power was just the beginning. Mateo Stephens thought surviving his awakening would be the hardest part. He was wrong. Hidden organizations are moving in the shadows. Enemies are no longer guessing-they're hunting. And the line between hero and threat is starting to blur. As Mateo struggles to control abilities he barely understands, the stakes rise fast-and dangerously. Friends are tested. Trust is broken. And every decision carries consequences he can't undo. But Mateo isn't the only one evolving. Bones is no longer the reckless kid chasing power. He's smarter. More controlled. And far more dangerous. This time, he's not looking for a fight. He's executing a plan. And Mateo is right at the center of it. In a world where power comes with a cost...survival isn't guaranteed. And becoming a hero? That might be the most dangerous choice of all.
