THRESHOLD: The Book Vol 1 : The Split

by J.C. Stone

Humans don't know.

There are mages living in the middle of New York. Drinking coffee, riding the subway, paying taxes. Hidden perfectly, for hundreds of years.





Ethan Cole is the worst one.

He has the ability. He just can't use it. Seventeen attempts, seventeen wrong targets. His instructors call it a defect. Ethan figures this is just his life.





Then the sky above New York tears open.

Something comes through.

And Ethan's defect works correctly for the very first time.





It splits him in two.



Modern New York. A secret mage society. A dual ability system. Tactical combat with a double who thinks exactly like him.

If you're into Solo Leveling or The Beginning After the End — this is for you.
