Iris: Destiny [Book 1 of the Iris Series]

Overview

Colin Craft is an average kid in the ninth grade. He lives a normal life, goes to a normal school, and has normal friends. With his normal life, he has a somewhat normal love; a hidden love. Jessica Waters... Perfect was the only way to describe her. Colin is her math tutor, and that one hour each day of his life is the best. However one day, his one hour gets better when he is dared to kiss her. At the touch of their lips, something happens. Looking into her eyes, Colin realizes a unique design... His design! A normal life; a perfect life; with a small catch. ''The Newspaper Myth'' is what they called him. Those who say they have seen him are shunned. None believe in his ''magic''. Even those who do, say that they don''t believe in him. His work is said to be that of the devil. They say he can teleport; he can read minds, create ice, manipulate flame, and even move things with his mind. They say he has an immune system that can repel even the strongest poisons. He has super human strength and endurance?? While this myth is strongly believed untrue by the majority, one man knows. A crooked cop named Allen Crestmere finds out who this newspaper myth is. Using the science lab he owns, he learns who this myth really is. Allen is the Myth''s first real enemy, fighting him not as human, but with the same power. With his kiss, his power was transferred to her, and now he has a choice. As he fights his enemy, he realizes he can''t do it alone. The only help is Jessica, and the only way she can help is if she learns the power. Faced with the reality that only one could be done, Colin must decide to love Jessica, or work with her. She fights with him, or she loves him, but not both. Colin''s fight is made that much more difficult as he is faced with love, loss, and opposition stronger than he. Only friendship, loyalty, and Jessica can hold him together... But only if it is what his destiny has plotted for him.
