Overview
A soldier. A prophecy. A bloodline powerful enough to burn empires to ash.Lieutenant Rayne Santiago has spent her life fighting other people’s wars, but when a dangerous mission drags her back toward the forgotten village she once left behind, she is forced to confront the truth about her past. Her missing brothers, her mysterious abilities, and the ancient legends whispered by her people are all connected to a destiny she never asked for—and a power others will kill to control.
Deep in the heart of South America, Rayne discovers that she may be the descendant of Inti, the sun god, chosen to protect her people from a ruthless enemy. But faith, science, greed, and vengeance collide when a powerful organization begins hunting those touched by the same supernatural legacy. With her family in danger and her village caught in the crossfire, Rayne must decide whether to run from the prophecy—or become the fire it promised.
Packed with explosive action, ancient mythology, military intrigue, and high-stakes superhero adventure, Descendant: Volume 1 is a visually stunning graphic novel about identity, sacrifice, and the terrifying power of embracing who you truly are.
