THE WALLS ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE DEMONS OUT. THEY DON'T. Rain Oren was born to fight demons. And now he's started to move and heal like they do. The only man who has seen what he can do lies in a coma. He's getting stronger every day. The day he wakes up, Rain stops being a warrior and starts being a specimen. Sixteen-year-old Rain Oren has stopped using his secret power entirely. The last time he let it loose, it took him over and people died.
He relives every second of it. So he cages it, starves it, refuses it. It grows anyway. He cannot afford to be seen. And Centrum has footage of a warrior moving as fast as the demons do. They don't have a face. But they know the warrior wears an Elite Squad uniform, and Rain wears one every day. So when Centrum comes for the Elite Squad over what happened in the Mist, Rain will run. He'll make himself the nation's target.
The squad keeps their status. He keeps everyone safe. Then the demons breach every region at once. And Rain learns his father left something behind. A warrior locked in a Centrum cell for ten years served with his father. He's stayed alive to tell Rain the truth about his family and his power. He's not the only prisoner. Getting them out means Rain stays. It means letting the power loose again. What he finds makes him question whether being warrior-born is an honor or a curse.
