The reckoning
(Book)

As Zuberi, Uzochi, and Lencho learn to control their supernatural abilities, an ancient force is on the hunt for power, and it will not stop until all of Tri-State East is under its control.

Zuberi, Uzochi, and Lencho were among the first of a new generation of Nubians to awaken to extraordinary powers-gifts their parents lost when they fled their island home decades ago. Now that Uzochi has been declared a Nubian catalyst, everyone expects him to lead. The so-called sky king, Krazen St. John, is bent on harnessing Nubian gifts for himself, and he has assembled a special, superhuman militia to do his bidding, putting a ruthless Lencho in charge. Uzochi's training has led him to discover an ancient, forgotten force hungry for conquest. And it won't stop until all of Tri-State East-and possibly the world-is under its control. -- adapted from jacket
