At his prestigious new school, he is struggling in all his classes, and at home, his angry father is always on his case, criticizing Zach for not being the exceptional child his parents need him to be. On top of that, Zach does not exactly have a lot of friends… So when two strange boys show up at his school and tell Zach he may or may not be a child of the gods, Zach decides to leave his disappointing life and follow the boys to Stormbound, where gods roam and godchildren hone their magical powers. With everything he thought he knew about the world completely flipped upside down, Zach is excited to embark on this journey, but there’s only one problem: Zach doesn’t have any powers...yet. With a new evil threatening the universe, Zach will find out if he is really the only one who can save the world, or just an average teenager.
