Aetherborn: The Awakening

Arin Lance has spent his entire life hiding a secret gift-the power to heal with a simple touch. His ability is a rare and forbidden magic that could make him either a savior or a target, and he's learned to survive by keeping others at a distance. His days blur together in work and quiet solitude until one brutal night changes everything. When an attack exposes Arin's gift to forces he never knew existed, he's thrust into a hidden world of ancient rivalries where werewolves rule from the shadows, magic is both a weapon and a curse, and an organization known as the Covenant hunts those with similar abilities. Caught between power and danger, Arin discovers his ability is the opposite of a blessing it's a beacon. At his side stands Kael, a brooding Alpha werewolf bound by duty and haunted by loss. His vow to protect his pack clashes with the instinctive pull he feels toward Arin, a connection that defies logic and burns with forbidden intensity. But, as secrets unravel and alliances fracture, Arin begins to question who he can trust and whether the one sworn to protect him might be the one fated to destroy him.
