The struggle of a socially awkward teenager, as he is thrown into a world of supernatural dangers.
Alexander Eden is unhappy. A geeky, social pariah, he is the victim of perpetual bullying at school. His home life isn't much better with a stepfather who resents him and a half brother who is better than him at everything.
However, that all changes the day the mysterious and beautiful Gabriella De Luca walks into his life. Everyone wants to know her, to be with her. But she is interested in Alex.
Because Alex is different.
Soon after he is thrown into a world he never thought possible. A world where he and others like him are the last line of defence. A world where an ancient unspeakable evil lurks.
Evil which seeks to consume him.

1st Draft complete and working on 2nd. Right now I'm very happy with the overall story, just trying to get that word count down!So far I've manged to trim from a waffling 159k to 134k. Aiming for 125k. Any more and I'd be cutting out necessary scenes. The story is epic (I mean in terms of events- not as an arrogant statement) :-)
