Awakened

Max Cain fell asleep at eight years old. He woke up at eighteen-as the CEO of the most dangerous corporation on Earth.

The last thing Max remembers is his eighth birthday: a school bully, a chase through the halls, and his two best friends doing impossible things. Then everything went black.

Now he's awake in a boardroom in New York City with a decade missing from his mind, a fortune he doesn't remember building, and an army that answers to his name. Because while Max slept, someone else was using his body-and using it to wage war.

Rescued by the friends he left behind as children, Max is taken into the hidden world he was born for: a secret society of people carrying the essences of history's greatest heroes, a mentor whose kindness hides secrets of its own, and magic stronger than anyone alive has ever seen.

His magic.

But there's a prophecy carved in stone with Max's name on it-and prophecies are never wrong. It says he will lead. It says all men will end. It says the person closest to him will die.

To save the man who sacrificed everything for him, Max will cross the country with his best friends at his side, hunted by soldiers carrying weapons stamped with his own company's logo-and face an enemy who has been pulling the strings for a thousand years.

Max spent ten years asleep.

His enemy spent them getting ready.
