The beginning (Metalbender Book 0)

Yesterday I debugged a C source file. Tomorrow I might steal your wallet. Seven years ago, my father disappeared, and my mother locked away my powers, unwilling to lose me, too. Now, my mother becomes ill and requires a special treatment to survive. But we can't afford it. My name is Blake Reynolds, I'm 19 and I've been studying IT in the last seven years to be accepted to a university and become a software engineer. I am determined to get the money for the treatment. I go against my mother's will and reunite with my Spirit, Cleo, gaining power I held once. An incredible power I inherited from my father. I have two goals; get the money for the treatment and meanwhile avoid dying at the hands of my father's past enemies. Maturity is on the way. “A. S. Norton’s short story lets us glimpse into a new urban fantasy series, an intricate magic system, and an unforgettable young male character’s journey.” Herman Reanna
