BLACK POWER / BOOK ONE

The Book of Akhet

A near-death experience awakens something extraordinary in Scipio. As mind-reading gives way to regeneration and vector manipulation, his search for answers draws him into the Amanirenan Resistance, and a fight against SOTIR.

Science, mysticism, and ancestral legacy collide in the beginning of the Black Power saga.
