The Changers: Choice Before Consequence - Paperback

Overview

Five teenage vigilantes are tied to Xonerate, a cosmic force mutating their city with every choice they make. As Jersey City spirals into chaos, they fight cryptids, criminals, corruption, and the consequences of their own existence-becoming the thing the world fears most: change. With characters based on creator Cheyne Ali Anderson and his childhood friends, this book acts as both a lifelong journey in the making... and the beginning of a new age.

When a self-proclaimed savior from the future, Manu, descends upon Jersey City with plans to "reshape" humanity, The Changers step up to shut him down. As lightning crackles and the city teeters on the brink of catastrophe, the team must outthink and outmatch a villain who believes he's destined to control history.

A well-earned beach day takes a nosedive when The Changers' antics result in a destroyed car-and an extremely unimpressed barista named Salina. Desperate to fix their mistake (and avoid the wrath of a caffeine-deprived Jersey native), the team scrambles for a solution.

When Ivy makes a bet with her teammates, the stakes are higher than anyone anticipated. What starts as a competition for bragging rights ends with The Changers facing off against a monstrous, otherworldly snake-one that just might have deeper ties to Ivy's Xlandrian heritage.

Before they were The Changers, they were just a group of teens trying to figure out what to do with a mysterious alien girl named Ivy. Struggling to hide her royal Xlandrian heritage, Ivy fumbles through a fake backstory while RPG, Jay, Zaire, and a skeptical Cheyne press her with questions-hoping to weed out any inconsistencies..

What should've been a quiet morning at Pop's Corner turns into a full-blown showdown when a group of freshly paroled criminals storm the local shop. Unfortunately for them, The Changers are nearby. It's their first real day out as a unit... and Jersey City may never be the same.

After the battle with The Luminary, Cheyne returns to the ruins of Central Railroad Terminal alone-searching for closure, or maybe just punishment. Haunted by childhood memories, survivor's guilt, and the mysterious death of a young girl, Cheyne spirals into a personal reckoning.
