Description

Luke King knows a lot of things. Like four different ways to disarm an enemy before the attacker can take a breath. Like every detail of every book he's ever read. And Luke knows enough-just enough-about what his father does as a black ops infiltrator to know which questions not to ask. Like why does his family move around so much?

Luke just hopes that this time his family is settled for a while. He'll finally be able to have a normal life. He'll be able to ask the girl he likes to take a ride with him on his motorcycle. He'll hang out with his friends. He'll be invisible-just as he wants.

But when his dad goes missing, Luke realizes that life will always be different for him. Suddenly he must avoid the kidnappers looking to use him as leverage against his father, while at the same time evading the attention of the school's mysterious elite clique of Russian hipsters, who seem much too interested in Luke's own personal secret. Faced with multiple challenges and his emerging paranormal identity, Luke must decide who to trust as he creates his own destiny.

Luke King knows a lot of things. Like four different ways to disarm an enemy before the attacker can take a breath. Like every detail of every book he's ever read. And Luke knows enough-just...


Advance Praise

"Bruchac delivers a fun twist on werewolf stories mixed with some mad science and espionage. . . . Bruchac adeptly incorporates characters of various heritages: Luke is Native American; his best friend/crush, Meena, is Pakistani; and the Sunglass Mafia-a group of students who are more than they seem-are from eastern Russia. Luke also possesses a hefty amount of cultural and political awareness to go with his combat and espionage expertise, which serve him well. . . . [T]he action and Luke's narration carry the book nicely."
-Publishers Weekly

"A loner teen finds himself caught up in a paranormal paramilitary threat- but he has both untapped personal resources and some unlikely allies to help him out. . . . [W]hen the action kicks in, it does so in overdrive. A solid entry into the paranormal market, with an appealingly different hero."
-Kirkus Reviews

"A tense, readable novel. . . . The mystery and edge-of-your-seat action are enough to keep readers hooked." - School Library Journal

"A genre-blending novel that combines horror, science fiction, and adventure into a satisfying whole. The fast pace will hold readers' attention to the end." -Booklist


"A howling great read--equal parts smarts, action & heart."
-Cynthia Leitich Smith, author of Blessed and Tantalize

"What a page turner from Joe Bruchac. It begins like a YA fantasy novel, and ends in a rush of science fiction, with a promise (fingers crossed from this reader at any rate) that there is a possible sequel. The book is endlessly inventive and rushes ahead till one is breathless with anxiety and hope."
-Jane Yolen, author of The Pit Dragon Chronicles, The Devil's Arithmetic, and Briar Rose
