Daniel Carter is an ordinary 16-year-old—or so he thought. When he moves to Igualada, Spain, to live with his uncle Mateo, he hopes for a fresh start: new school, new football team, and maybe even a chance at love. But his life takes a dangerous turn when he discovers he has a rare ability—the power to manipulate time perception.

As Daniel struggles to control his gift, he finds himself targeted by a secret organization that sees him as a threat. Meanwhile, he joins the Igualada junior football team, where his unpredictable powers interfere with his game, pushing him to the brink of exposure. With masked assassins on his trail, intense football tournaments to compete in, and the mysterious yet captivating Sofia capturing his heart, Daniel must learn to balance the life of a normal teenager with the deadly reality of his past.

Can he master his abilities before it’s too late? Or will the truth about his father’s past put everyone he loves in danger?

A thrilling mix of action, mystery, and romance, Daniel Carter: Time on the Run is a gripping coming-of-age story where every second counts.

Time on the Run

<p>The streets of Igualada were alive with the afternoon rush, but Daniel couldn't shake the unsettling feeling that had been following him all day. Every shadow felt longer, every glance from a stranger seemed like a confirmation of his worst fears.</p>

Beside him, Sofia walked in silence, her expression tight. She had been the first to notice the watchers, but now Daniel could feel it too. They weren't just being watched. They were being followed.

"Are you sure?" Daniel asked under his breath.

"Yes," Sofia murmured without looking at him. "There's a man in a gray jacket. He was outside the school, and now he's across the street."

Daniel didn't dare turn around. Instead, he focused on the path ahead. They were supposed to be heading to CF Igualada's training ground, but now every step felt like walking into a trap.

"We act normal," Sofia whispered. "Go to practice like always. If we run, they'll know we're onto them."

Daniel took a deep breath, forcing himself to keep moving. If the leader of the organization he thought was dead was still alive, that meant whoever was watching him was waiting for the right moment to strike.

Daniel stepped onto the field, pushing aside his paranoia. Football was the only thing that felt normal now.

"Carter!" Coach Morales called. "We're working on speed drills today. Get moving!"

Daniel nodded and jogged toward the group, but his mind wasn't in it. He glanced toward the fence bordering the training ground. Was someone watching from there?

The drills began, and Daniel forced himself to focus. His legs burned as he sprinted, weaving through cones, but he pushed harder. He couldn't afford to be distracted now.

His teammates cheered as he finished first in the drill, but Miguel gave him a sideways look. "You okay, tío?"

Daniel forced a grin. "Yeah. Just… focused."

Miguel shrugged. "Well, keep it up. You're getting closer to the senior team."

Daniel's chest tightened. He wanted to celebrate, but he couldn't shake the feeling that the better he got at football, the worse things were going to get.

As Daniel left the training ground, his phone buzzed. Unknown Number.

His breath caught as he opened the message.

"We see you, Daniel. You can't run forever."

Daniel stopped in his tracks, his blood turning to ice.

Sofia, who had been waiting near Mateo's van, noticed his expression immediately. "What's wrong?"

He turned the screen toward her. The color drained from her face.

Daniel clenched his jaw. This wasn't just a warning. It was a promise.

The shadows were closing in. And soon, he would have to fight back.
