I, Warden:

He’s ready to complete his training. But first, he must defeat an invading army, or die trying...

As fourteen-year-old Maels Raptori prepares to enter the toughest warden academy in the League of Cells, sudden societal collapse threatens one of the Skein’s three anchor-worlds and the billions of lives beneath it. He’s shaken, but as the lone survivor of a species-ending plague, he confidently draws on his skills to navigate the unexpected turmoil – and fails miserably.

Then a murderous, technologically superior enemy crashes upon Earth. Captured and enslaved, Maels despairs as all he’s known is destroyed and his friends butchered. His total failure burns through him like the enemy leader’s venom, injected with her bite.

Now, crippled by the poison seeping through his veins and beset by a growing temptation to accept his fate, can Maels defeat his tormentors and return to Earth in time to save himself and humanity from complete annihilation?
