Secrets: The Hero Chronicles (Volume 1), by Tim Mettey
"Exciting paranormal teen romance -- with a hint of apocalyptic spiritualism. That sounds like a complicated mix, but it's actually a fairly straight-forward story. The novel begins with a ten-year-old boy named Alex Taylor who experiences something traumatic - it's not clear exactly what that something is, but it's transformative for Alex and for the community in which he lives. Then the story shifts ahead five years and we meet fifteen-year-old Nicholas Keller, who is wrapped up in some sort of mystery. Ever since the death of his parents, Nicholas has been living with his Aunt Cora, who has become a surrogate mom for him. But there is something strange about Nicholas's life - he and Cora are hiding from someone or something. They have moved annually for the past five years, so that Nicholas has never spent more than one year in the same school since fifth grade. What is the connection between Nicholas and Alex, and what is the mystery behind Nicholas's nomadic lifestyle? Any parent would be delighted to have their kids reading this book - it portrays teenagers in a sweet and wholesome light that is seldom seen in this era of violent video games and offensive music. I do recommend SECRETS to teen readers looking for a mix of romance and paranormal adventure." -- Amazon reviewer
The Midwest lies in complete ruins after a catastrophic disaster kills tens of thousands and leaves hundreds of thousands injured. Nicholas Keller emerges out of the devastation as a shining light of hope for all. But his newfound fame comes with a price that his aunt will not let him pay. They flee into the shadows in order to protect his secret. However, as Nicholas begins his sophomore year at his fifth school in five years, strange and unexpected things begin to happen. He soon tumbles into a web of doomed love, extraordinary talents and a secret past, which threatens the lives of everyone he cares about. It's up to Nicholas to confront the truth, even if it means his own death.
