Sage

Daniel Holden has spent eighteen years looking over his shoulder and searching for his life's purpose. Now the shadow people are on his trail again, haunting and torturing him. As frustration and hopelessness lead him to the edge of insanity, Daniel drops out of college, determined to end his suffering by hurling his body off a bridge. But when he is mysteriously saved from his decided fate, Daniel embraces a second chance to turn his life around.

After Josiah, a mysterious loner, takes him under his wing, Daniel discovers that he, like Josiah, is a Sage--the last-born member of a secret society destined to protect the world from evil forces. Being a Sage comes with a unique mission for Daniel: to one day lead the righteous souls of Earth in a final battle against the Sage's evil counterparts, the Goths. If he is victorious, the planet will experience peace and prosperity. If defeated, the Goths will enslave all of humanity into misery and darkness. With the help of Lucy, his new love and mentor, Daniel soon uncovers a new hurdle: a Sage killer is on the loose.

In this young adult fantasy, a Sage couple must find a murderer and uncover a dark secret as the fate of the world awaits.
