FATAL RIVERS Six Grade 12 students in Johannesburg discover they have abilities — just as ten dangerous individuals called the Veiled Ten arrive in the city. John Ndlozi: half-Zulu, half-Japanese. Fast. Quiet. Doesn't know his father is a former Duke in hiding. Calvin Dube: dark-skinned. Senses everything. Doesn't know his mother is hiding what he is. Bob Molefe: vibration. Loud. Hits harder than he means to. Biggie Sithole: creates things from nothing. Real and solid. Miiko Nakamura: water and light. Amplifies every joke. Hides nothing — except what the bubble meant. Fiona Osei: knew before any of them. Has been watching. Has been waiting. The mythology world is real. The Veil Laws say it stays hidden. The Veiled Ten don't care. Trial exams. Final exams. A city that doesn't know it's a battlefield. The final battle starts two weeks after matric ends. Not all of them are ready. All of them show up anyway.
