Hearts

Summary

As the world stands on the brink of a Kur invasion, five teenagers are all that might save it from complete annihilation.

Koji Owens is running out of everything: time, places to hide, people to trust, and worst of all...his soul's potent energy. With the aftermath of Dr. Livingston's vicious attack still making news headlines around the globe, it's almost impossible for him and his friends to keep their identities under wraps. Backed into a corner, with only the efforts of Drake and the FBI to protect him from an international manhunt, Koji doesn't know how much more he can take. It's all he can do just to keep a grip on the raging Kur fury that threatens to break his mind. Koji fears every transformation and daring rescue devours more of his soul, but staying out of the fray isn't an option. This certainly wasn't the life of adventure, fame, and heroism Koji's comic books promised, and as the clock ticks down, he can only guess what new horrors will be unleashed if Dr. Livingston's plan to tear open a gateway between worlds is finally realized.

With only one chance left to tip the scales in their favor, Koji and his friends must hold the line and wait for Madeline to keep her word. But finally getting their hands on the final totem is only half the battle. Will the addition of a new, dragon-powered ally be enough to thwart Dr. Livingston's wicked plot for good? Or will past rivalries and stubborn pride finally be Koji's undoing?

Heroism has a steep price, and it may be far more than Koji Owens can afford....
