Balancing act : the hidden life of a nephilim

"Meet Cal Genum, an ordinary-looking teenager with an extraordinary secret. While he may appear as a regular 6 ft black teen with an average build, he's actually a nephilim—a guardian and peacekeeper between the normal and paranormal worlds. Cal's life revolves around school and part-time jobs, but beneath this façade, he carries the weight of a protector. Cal's only friends are Philip Bozeman, a charming and flirtatious light-skinned guy, and Katherine Medina, a captivating Latina with a strong personality and a caring demeanor. Despite his deep affection for them, Cal never reveals his true identity as a nephilim, nor does he disclose his remarkable abilities—such as manipulating elements and sensing emotions. Set in a Florida divided among different supernatural factions—vampires in Atlanta, werewolves in Miami, and various other monsters scattered in between—Cal's role becomes clear: he and a select few are responsible for preventing conflicts and ensuring the safety of humans, all while maintaining their ignorance of the paranormal world. As tensions rise between the factions, Cal faces the challenge of maintaining the balance and preventing an all-out war that could jeopardize humanity's safety. With his friends by his side, unaware of his true nature, Cal navigates the complexities of his dual life as a seemingly ordinary teenager and a powerful peacekeeper. The story unfolds with suspense, secrecy, and the constant threat of exposing the truth. Cal's journey will test his loyalty, friendships, and his ability to protect both the worlds he straddles."
