BEHIND THE VEIL OF THIS WORLD, BATTLE LINES ARE BEING DRAWN

The fate of the world rests upon the slender shoulders of a young teenager named Graham Dawson, who harbors the prophesied power capable of tipping the delicate balance between good and evil. Silas’ attempt to take Graham at Catalyst Grove has failed, but he did not leave empty-handed.

In finding the grove, he destroyed over half of the AEGIS training facilities around the world and unearthed the hidden locations of key AEGIS outposts. This revelation lays bare the vulnerability of Alex’s entire network and exposes his people to the impending onslaught by VICTUS. With the outposts now compromised, Graham now finds himself thrust into an epic battle where he must train to become useful on the battlefield before uniting with other AEGIS warriors and deploying on tactical missions to defend their three remaining outposts. The stakes couldn't be higher; if Victus seizes the Aegis outposts, they will mercilessly exterminate the Aegis people, gain control of their powerful networks, and use Graham to usher in an era of darkness.

New alliances will form. New powers will be revealed, and the battle will rage as the inevitable collision of the two immortals grows ever nearer. The beginning of the end has come.

"AEGIS: The Rift" is an enthralling coming-of-age tale that weaves together elements of fantasy, adventure, and magic realism. Graham's journey from an ordinary orphan to an unexpected hero sets the stage for an epic battle between light and dark, promising an unforgettable adventure where destiny and power intersect in truly extraordinary ways.


Interview with the Author

Q - What makes the AEGIS Series so unique?
I am a huge fan of epic adventures. I loved The Chronicles of Narnia and Lord Of The Rings and always acted out fight scenes in my head as a child. I thrive on the stories of the classic clash of good vs. evil. I also appreciate clean stories that don't rely on rash language and questionable intimate scenes. Great stories don't need those. A solid plot, relatable characters, hard decisions, strong moral fiber, and nail-biting action carry a series to greatness. We all want themes that stick with us long after we are finished reading, ones that make us think deeply. Yeah, that is what sets this apart... and, of course, I have developed the story to keep you turning the pages in anticipation. You may hate me for making you stay up all night to finish!

Q - What books are in the series?
Another unique aspect of the AEGIS series is the Character Stories. These are novelettes based on each main character in the series to give you a glimpse into the extraordinary circumstances that shaped them into who they are today. These novelettes can be read in any order, but I suggest reading Catalyst Grove before diving in. Here is what is out so far:

NOVEL SERIES
  1. AEGIS: Catalyst Grove
  2. AEGIS: The Rift
  3. AEGIS: The Frozen Throne (in process)
  4. +1 more planned

CHARACTER NOVELETTES
  1. Recollection: Graham Dawson
  2. Mission Alpha: Eric Branson
  3. + many more to come!

Q - So, why should readers give these books a try?
Readers will likely enjoy the book if they enjoy: - Adventurous storylines - Epic battles - Clean reading - Strong, relatable characters - An urge to wage war against the forces of darkness - Deep, meaningful moral undertones - Mystery - Special Powers (superhero/superpowers you ask? I guess you will have to read and see :) )

Enjoy!

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Hey there, fellow adventure reader. My name is Nathan Roten and I am the author of the AEGIS Series. If you are new to my writing, then hopefully the info below will help you quickly understand if what I write will excite you.

    What exactly do I write?

    My niche that I know and love is action/adventure fantasy fiction for middle school and Young Adults (though many adults have told me they love just as much as their kids). The fantasy is set in the real world with fantastical powers (no caps!). No dragons, elves, vampires, etc... Think the audiences of Chronicles Of Narnia, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, The WingFeather Saga, Michael Vey, and so on.

    Are the books appropriate for kids?

    100% yes! The reading level is 8 yrs old and above. All of my writing is clean and free of profanity and sensual content. There are also many biblical undertones and strong moral fiber. In fact, that is really the reason I started writing... which was to provide fun and exciting stories that are safe and clean. Stories that I would be proud to have my own children read and that are God-honoring.

    What's unique about your books?

    Good question! As I said above, they are clean and morally focused without sacrificing great storytelling and relatable characters. I am a pastor with the CMA, so all my writing will also be God-honoring. For the AEGIS Series, I also write separate character stories, which are novelettes that go deeper into the backstory of each major character. These really enrich the main series and are a fun time filler! Lastly, I have developed a very unique virtual challenge that pairs with the series. If you are a parent and you want your child to engage in an exciting story while also getting out to exercise, then they can participate in a self-paced, virtual challenge that will allow them to earn their own superpower! If you want to know more, you can check it out on my website www.NathanRoten.com

    You can also get free books, behind the scenes access, and insider updates by subscribing to my newsletter: Epic Insiders. You can sign up with a few simple clicks at either www.NathanRoten.com or www.AegisSeries.com

    My fourth read from author Nathen Roten. With every word written Roten has grown on me, in fact, I had an ARC of this book but I went out & bought it I liked him so much. Captivating story line, memorable characters, who could ask for anything more, well maybe some more time so I could read more.

    Was not as impressed with the second book. Aside from the main characters, there were too many other characters who were never introduced into the story. After reading a couple of chapters and still not finding out who the heck these people were. I gave up, which is a shame, because I thought the the first book was fantastic, the plot was excellent, caracters well thought out and lots of interesting action.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The AEGIS series just keeps getting better and better - you'll love The Rift!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2017
    When I read Catalyst Grove I thought it was an amazing book. The depth and development of the characters and the story ranked right up there with my favorite author of all time, Leon Uris. I waited, rather impatiently, for the second book. The Rift did not disappoint! It's better than Catalyst Grove. The characters grow with the story, rather than one or the other being left behind as you see in a lot of sequels. They, the characters, continue to develop on each page. Their strengths become much more refined and the "otherside" is fleshed out. (I am intentionally vague as I don't do spoiler reviews. I want the reader to enjoy the book without my thoughts entering into the equation. ) Rarely do I find myself wanting to read a series more than once, but AEGIS is definitely falling into that category.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Training is key
    Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2017
    Graham and Damian from Greenwood Orphanage, after their ordeal at Catalyst Grove, became real firm friends with Kel and Ailey from Oakridge Orphanage. The good news is they are becoming real live family as Alex, the leader of the Aegis group, is in process of adopting them. These kids could not be more thrilled.
    Each having demonstrated that they have a talent, it has now become time for them to start training. Training..training...training until they do not even want to hear that word! Besides, to their horror they discovered they really are but novices in each of the talents. There are many rankings higher up to aspire to. But for now, they have to train.
    Did I mention they have a lot of training to do?
    Just as well, because the new name in terror is called Victus. They are the group that attacked the Catalyst Grove training facility. Other facilities soon follows and Raven facility, eventually only has one survivor.
    Silas and Kyla from Victus have only two objectives: 1. Capture Graham Dawson
    2. Rub out any surviving member of the Aegis group.
    Nathan Roten once again succeeds in writing a thrilling action packed YA fantasy that will have you gasping for more at the end of this book, The Rift. Enjoy!
