Publisher’s description

It's a world not unlike our own. Words like paranormal or super-hero are euphemisms only used in comic books and movies. That is until the White Event! In one blinding moment the landscape of the universe changed. Welcome to the New Universe. Life for Kenneth Connell, an extreme sports enthusiast, changed the night he met...The Old Man. After a brief encounter and black-out, Ken awakens with a strange "Brand" on his hand. It's a Brand that will forever change his life.
