The Rise Of the Guardian
A foster kid becomes a hero when an alien artifact transforms his destiny
- Fantasy
At ten years old, Dominick Harris was just another kid lost in the foster care system. Then he found it: a glowing alien artifact that fused with his DNA, changing everything. Now thirteen, Dominick leads a double life. By day, he navigates the strict rules of his foster home and the social landmines of middle school. By night, he patrols the city as the Guardian, a masked vigilante with superhuman speed and strength. But being a hero comes with a heavy price. The police, led by the relentless Detective Sarah Miller, view him as a dangerous rogue and are closing in on his identity. Dominick isn't just running from the law. Silas Varkas, a ruthless mogul obsessed with immortality, knows about the artifact and will stop at nothing to tear it from Dominick's body. With the help of his tech-genius foster brother and a mysterious celestial AI, Dominick must master his growing powers before his enemies destroy the only family he's ever known. In a world that sees him as a problem to be solved, Dominick Harris must decide if he has the courage to be the hero the city needs. The hunt is on, and the Guardian’s time is running out.
