Defenders of the Land

Seth Zerdowski wanted to be someone better. After a flash over Lake Erie, the seventeen-year-old discovers that impossible strength comes with very real consequences. Across town, Dr. Daniel Orkleson is making miracles of his own - and expects them to obey. A runaway boxing glove, a determined reporter and a private investigator begin pulling at the threads of his story. As the lake changes and a dangerous machine wakes, Cleveland needs more than a headline. It needs people willing to stand up for one another.
