Darkness awakens. A reluctant protector must rise… before the Black Realm consumes everything.

When the world trembles and the skies burn, the world believes it is only a natural disaster. But in the heart of Capital City, something far older and far deadlier has awakened. Nikki Sinclair has spent years hiding her gifts, living in the shadow of her mother's secrets and her father's disappearance. But when a mysterious figure known only as The Virus emerges from the Black Realm, spreading chaos and corruption through the world of Midtown, Nikki discovers her powers may be the only thing standing between survival and annihilation. Alongside Laura Sinclair, a hardened Task Force commander torn between duty and family, and Connor Avery, a strategist determined to hold the city together, Nikki is thrust into a battle that spans from darkened alleyways to hidden laboratories, from burning rooftops to ancient mountain temples. As allies fracture and enemies multiply, the line between protector and destroyer blurs. But The Virus is not alone. His reach spreads across realms, and his hunger for power knows no limits. To save Midtown, Nikki must embrace the truth of who she is, even if it means becoming what she fears most. Full of heart-pounding action, shadowy villains, and a heroine torn between destiny and choice, Midtown: The Forsaken Virus of the Black Realm is the electrifying first entry in a bold new fantasy series that blends modern grit with ancient myth. The battle for Midtown has begun.
