Dissonance

He wanted an escape from his life. He never thought he'd find one like this.

After his older brother's disappearance, Tyler struggles with life in boring Newbury. School, parents, bullies, everyone seems bent on making his life miserable, and Tyler wants out. But in a confrontation with a vicious jock, Tyler meets Martin, who opens the door to a world Tyler couldn't have imagined.

Thanks to Martin, Tyler discovers that some people have special affinities because of Vinculum inside of them, and Tyler has one. Those with affinities have an organisation called the London Co-op, made up of rival groups competing for dominance, and Tyler accompanies Martin on his attempts to prove his worth and join.

But being a part of the co-op comes with its own challenges. Between a tough mission, an intriguing peer named Arabel, and disturbing rumours of someone out to get those with affinities, Tyler will have to think fast and work as a team to make a place for himself.

Dissonance is the first book in the exciting new Tyler Yaxley dark fantasy series.
