When superhero Davians' carefully constructed double life begins to crumble, the fate of both his family and the world hangs in the balance. As leader of the Shadow Sentinels, he's battled superpowered criminals and corporate conspiracies—but nothing has prepared him for the current threat: his own destiny. Unknown to the public and most of his team, Davian is the prophesied vessel of Olorun, an ancient deity destined to return through him when he turns fifty. His immortal guardian Tante Nella has protected his bloodline for over two centuries, waiting for this moment. But when team member Alicia is kidnapped and tortured into revealing the Sentinels' secrets, Davian's worlds collide catastrophically. As his wife delivers an ultimatum about his absences, his two young sons begin manifesting dangerous supernatural abilities, and a shadowy pharmaceutical magnate named Vincent Kaine closes in, determined to harness Olorun's power for himself. Davian discovers the truth: he wasn't chosen to be a hero—he was born to be a god. Now, with the team's trust shattered and his family exposed to enemies, Davian must reconcile his duties as guardian of humanity with his role as guardian of his children. Tante Nella's prophetic visions grow increasingly dire, revealing multiple paths to disaster but no clear salvation. As the hunters become the hunted, Davian faces an impossible choice: sacrifice his humanity to save those he loves, or sacrifice those he loves to save humanity. In a world where heroes are made, not born, Davian Reynolds was both—and the power awakening within him could save everyone or destroy everything.
