The Paragon


 “Find the descendants.”
Those are the final words Matt Anderson hears from his dying father on the floor of his parents’ bedroom on Matt’s seventeenth birthday. But Matt has never heard of descendants. He knows nothing of the mysterious world his father has kept from him.
Until the day his parents were killed, Matt was a happy kid in the suburbs of Boston, making his way through high school and harboring a crush on neighbor Ashley. But when Matt and Ashley, framed for the murders of their parents, run into a young man named Luke with the power to control technology, the revelations come fast: super powers are real. Matt and Ashley have them. And if they can’t summon nine more descendants to their side to unleash a power called the Paragon, their lives and the world’s will be forfeit to the century-old monster who killed their parents, and to the family of twisted young descendants he controls.
Now Matt can generate fire. Ashley can heal the wounded. Their search for their fellow descendants will span the country, and the world. But can they trust Luke, who found them only just after their parents were killed—Luke, whose association with the man who murdered their parents goes farther than they could have imagined? Can they survive the descendants raised from birth to fight for their sinister, super-powered father? And what is the Paragon? Will it save the world—or destroy it?
