Old Money Last Names

Seventeen-year-old Rune Weaver thought his biggest problem was surviving senior year at New Haven High. Then a shadow creature attacked him in the school parking lot, and a mysterious man saved his life by throwing fire from his bare hands. Now Rune knows the truth: he is descended from an ancient line of sorcerers called Etherwind, and the darkness that destroyed his ancestors five hundred years ago has returned. He is not alone. Four other teenagers across the city have just discovered their own magical heritage, each from a different Etherwind bloodline. Together they are the last hope against Grimfall, an ancient force of living darkness that feeds on fear and despair. But learning magic is not like the movies. Their powers are wild and dangerous, and every spell they cast brings them closer to the madness that consumed their ancestors. As the shadows spread across New Haven, turning ordinary people into mindless thralls, Rune and his unlikely allies must master their abilities before Grimfall completes its return. They have six weeks until the convergence, when the barrier between worlds falls completely. Six weeks to become the sorcerers their bloodlines demand. Six weeks to save everyone they love from being swallowed by eternal night.

Three years ago, Damon Kael was known as the War God. The strongest commander Earth had ever seen. He led the Iron Legion, a special force created to fight back against the Coalition. The Coalition was a brutal organization determined to conquer the planet through force, technology, and fear. During the final battle at the Iron Veil, Damon made the ultimate sacrifice. He locked an Iron Clamp, the key to the Iron Veil onto his own legs to prevent the coalition forces from getting access to the core of the Iron Veil. The Clamp was designed to disable his mobility completely. It kept him alive but crippled, and most importantly, hidden. The password to remove the Clamp was secured deep within the Iron Veil. It was impossible to access without risking exposure. Damon vanished from the world and allowed everyone to believe he was dead. Now he hides in plain sight. Weak. In a wheelchair.
