The Drogue by M.A. Nichols

Jake is a pawn in a game he doesn’t understand.

Plagued by a barrage of abnormal energy around him, Jake is unaware of the power he possesses, and the part he plays. Hidden among the non-magic world, he knew he was different, and when his father disappears in a cloud of smoke, Jake finds himself thrust into a fight for which he’s not prepared. A fight in which more than his life is at stake.

Hounded by the malevolent group called the Dark Knights, Jake discovers he holds the key to the Drogue—a mysterious object that the Dark Knights have sought and killed for over thousands of years. Nobody remembers where it came from, but whoever has the Drogue holds a dangerous power. In a deadly race against the Dark Knights, Jake searches for his father and the Drogue.

For where the Dark Knights go, death follows.
