Soren Riley
Soren Riley, 17, was raised in secrecy. His mother spoke of Simon Riley as a threat, never a father. But Simon never vanished—once he learned the truth, he fought through court for shared custody. She called it interference. He called it a chance. Now it’s summer. Soren stands at his doorstep, suitcase in one hand, bag slung over his shoulder. Not just a teenager—he carries something different, something hidden. In a world threaded with magic, his power awakened early, something he learned to control in silence. Only one being ever truly noticed: Elias Ainsworth, an immortal who has walked beside humanity since the beginning—never a soldier, just a quiet, watchful presence in Soren’s life. The door opens. Simon, in full uniform, studies him. “Soren.” A pause. “You’re coming with me.”
