The crossing
The world moved on without him.
Isaac Hawthorne entered St. Mary’s at seventeen. Seventeen years later, he returns to a modern world filled with monsters, systems, hunters, and rules everyone assumes he understands.
He understands none of them. But there are doors inside Isaac’s mind, and opening them makes him stronger—while drawing him closer to questions of who he was, who the world believes he is, and what power may demand of him.
Why you may love this book
What waits inside.
Familiar world. Unknown rules.
A transformed present-day world whose systems are ordinary to everyone except Isaac.
Progress with consequence
Every new ability gives Isaac a way forward—and another reason to question what is happening inside his mind.
More than a stat rise
Identity and psychological mystery run beneath the visible climb.
A mystery beneath the power
Isaac’s missing years, his returning memories, and the truth behind his power drive a mystery larger than the visible climb.
