In a bustling modern city where ancient secrets and mysterious powers collide with everyday life, 22-year-old Ethan Cross seems like your average college student. Behind his unassuming demeanor lies a man shrouded in secrets—a masked vigilante known only as "Virtuoso," feared by criminals and sought after by powerful organizations.

Ethan is overpowered, sarcastic, and ridiculously skilled at everything he does. But there's one thing he’s terrible at: romance. When the enigmatic and fiercely independent Mia Harper stumbles into his life, she unknowingly becomes the key to unraveling a conspiracy that ties Ethan's past to an ancient prophecy.

Between laugh-out-loud moments, explosive action, and unexpected twists, Ethan navigates his double life while trying to protect Mia, keep his identity hidden, and maybe—just maybe—figure out how to confess his feelings without being a complete disaster.

The Masked Virtuoso

The tension in Haven was suffocating. Even after Ethan's return from the void, no one could shake the unease lingering in the air. The war room was silent except for the low hum of the holo-table, its blue light casting eerie shadows over the team's faces.

Ethan stood at the center, arms crossed, golden-shadow energy still faintly flickering at his fingertips. He had changed—again. Stronger, more in control. But the Rift's warning still echoed in his mind.

Mia's voice broke the silence. "So, what's the plan?"

Selene exhaled slowly. "Isolde. We track her down, we get her back."

Kieran tapped rapidly on his console. "Easier said than done. There's been no comms from her since the battle. It's like she vanished off the grid."

Orion, leaning against the wall, arms crossed, spoke up. "Then we assume the worst." His voice was grim. "She was taken."
