Before the Mask - The Ascendant Protocol Book One #1007737

Fifteen-year-old Elias Knight lives a life of absolute precision. Trained by his retired Marine father to stay invisible, Elias knows that surviving means keeping his head down and controlling every variable. But when a ruthless organization known as Sovereign launches a series of high-tech attacks on the city of Ravenport, Elias's carefully ordered world begins to fracture.

He starts experiencing impossible "neural surges"—time slows, and he can perceive the hidden, digital architecture of the world around him. These abilities are no accident. They are the legacy of Project Aurora, a classified experiment his mother died trying to bury.

Now, hunted by a militarized containment team and a rogue successor who wants to use the city's hidden network to rewrite humanity, Elias can no longer hide in the shadows. To save his father and his city, he must embrace the power he was engineered to wield. He must become the Vector.

Before the Mask launches The Ascendant Protocol, a gripping sci-fi action-adventure series exploring heroism, identity, and the hidden potential of humanity. Perfect for fans of cinematic, high-tech thrillers and unforgettable coming-of-age journeys.
