Stormborn: The Ryker Protocol

The sky was clear. There was no storm.No warning.No reason for lightning to fall. But it did. When a single beam of white light descends from a cloudless sky and enters thirteen-year-old Ryker Storm, the world should have ended for him. Instead, it began. Doctors find no burns.No damage.Only one anomaly — his heart beats like a thunderstorm trapped inside a human body. But the lightning didn’t strike him. It chose him. Now something ancient hums beneath his skin.Electronics glitch when he’s near.Storm clouds gather when he’s angry.And somewhere beyond satellites and governments, something has marked him as “Host Confirmed.” Ryker is no longer just a normal kid trying to survive middle school. He is the center of a mission older than memory.A mission that could protect the world —or shatter it. Because storms don’t just destroy. They awaken. And destiny has just rewritten itself.
