Name Bound

A Sci-fi Thriller

By: Zeph Baxter

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

UNLOCKING A SUITCASE EARNS HIM SUPERPOWERS—AND A TARGET ON HIS BACK.

Fourteen-year-old Kyle Bennett thinks he’s just collecting his missing brother’s suitcase from a rundown Miami hostel. Instead, he unlocks a powerful alien artifact—the Name Box—and unleashes something far more dangerous than he could ever imagine.

The Box responds to something in Kyle’s DNA, imprinting him with the name of a fallen hero: Rha’il. Along with the name comes a voice in his head, strange new powers, and terrifying visions of exploding stars, ancient worlds, and a creature trapped inside the box…
a creature that might be the most dangerous being in the universe.

Now Kyle is being hunted.

Varun, an ambitious Indian gang leader trying to claim territory in Miami, wants the Box. So does the Veil, a secretive ancient organization with its own dark agenda. And deep within the Box itself, the alien known as the Dark Resident is beginning to stir.

As Kyle’s powers grow and reality starts to twist around him, he must uncover the truth behind the Box, control the force inside him, and survive enemies on all sides—before the name Rha’il consumes him completely.

Namebound is a fast-paced sci-fi adventure perfect for fans of Michael Vey, Percy Jackson, and Stranger Things. Packed with action, mystery, and heart, it’s a thrilling journey across power, identity, and what it means to be chosen.
