Four years ago, the world changed in a single night. A global phenomenon—now known as The Wave—rewrote the genetic code of every person past puberty, unlocking unique and unpredictable abilities in billions. Superpowers became reality. So did chaos. Now, the world teeters on a fragile edge between evolution and collapse. Dominic Scotia is only twelve, but his life has already been shattered by what power can do. His mother, Viora, was a revered Guardian—one of the world’s most respected heroes. His father, Rayner, known as Titan Forge, was even stronger... until grief, rage, and betrayal pushed him past a line no hero should ever cross. As the remnants of the Guardian team scramble to rebuild trust and purpose, Dominic watches the world reshape itself around him—while secretly fearing what might awaken inside himself. Meanwhile, Daisy Carter, a young genius working with NovaTech, fights to restore order through science and compassion. And Jack Donovan—now operating under the codename Veil—dives into the shadows to uncover a conspiracy far deeper than any of them imagined. What begins as a story of loss becomes a war against silence, fear, and the myth of invincibility. The Wave: Book One – Catalyst is a grounded, emotionally-driven superhero epic that asks: What if everyone had a power, but no one knew what to do with it? It’s about found family, fractured legacies, and the quiet revolution that begins when a boy decides to stop watching from the sidelines. Perfect for fans of Invincible, The Boys, and X-Men—but told through a lens of humanity, responsibility, and resistance.
