Level Zero: The Pact of Zeros (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781966495000)

What if your first adventure began at Level Zero?

Jax Renner is the only kid in town whose Band has never awakened-no glow, no power, no future. Tovi Amsel is a rule-breaking young scholar obsessed with proving the leveling system is flawed.

When a monster hunt spirals into a chaotic Rampiro stampede, the two boys collide, survive, and uncover a truth no one else is willing to see:

The world's magic doesn't work the way everyone believes.

Together they'll face Gornians, rival villages, dangerous myths, and their own clashing personalities as a reluctant friendship forms in the fire of survival.

Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Amari, and Arcane-style worldbuilding, Level Zero blends humor, heart, and high-stakes adventure in a fresh MG/YA fantasy about underdogs who refuse to stay powerless.

Themes: friendship, courage, system-breaking, mystery, and the unstoppable spark of two boys who dare to question everything.
