“I’m sure any interest in me won’t last the day – just a passing curiosity.” I wasn’t interested in being the center of attention, but I didn’t want to be labeled a reclusive snob either. Why was it so difficult to be neutral? I felt for Switzerland. - Jayke Wolff, first day at St. Augustine High
Being hardheaded may be a common character flaw, but teenagers typically can’t crack a concrete curb with their skull. And while a skateboarder launching off a half-pipe appears to defy gravity, he can’t keep water from pouring out of an upturned cup. Unintentionally tapping into latent powers has brought Jayke Wolff to the attention of the Aduro, an ancient society plotting an apocalyptic new world order. As their number one draft pick, Jayke is now in the crosshairs of their most seductive and aggressive emissary. It shouldn’t take much convincing a hormonal teenage boy to turn his back on a cryptic message from his forgotten past in exchange for a future of self-indulgence and unchecked power. But if Jayke can’t be tempted by pleasures of the flesh, the flesh can be influenced in less pleasant ways as well. Armageddon can’t wait forever. Killing Jayke will also work.
