The Cyborg Guardians series doesn’t begin with the men you meet in the books.
It begins with a war—a brutal 90-year conflict that shaped the world they would one day inherit.
Daken Rowe fought that entire war.
Steele Nova and Raven Blackwood did not.
They remained in stasis, engineered but not awakened, until the fighting ended and Vyken Dark returned to Earth.
What follows is the arc these three men create together.
Steele Nova — The First Awakening
Steele is part of the first new wave of cyborgs awakened after the war.
He steps into a world struggling to rebuild and must learn humanity from scratch—not through combat, but through connection.
His story is about:
- discovering choice after a lifetime of programming
- becoming more than what he was designed to be
- learning the cost of protecting with restraint, not force
Steele’s awakening becomes the spark that defines the new Guardians.
Raven Blackwood — The Man Who Tests the Boundaries
Raven awakens alongside Steele, trained under Daken Rowe but shaped by a different temperament. He understands discipline perfectly—until he meets the one person who changes everything.
His story is about:
- breaking rules for the right reasons
- the emotional fracture that comes with caring
- how one choice can ripple through a team
He becomes the Guardian who proves that loyalty is more complex than programming ever accounted for.
Daken Rowe — The Veteran Who Returned Home
Daken is the bridge between the old world and the one being rebuilt.
He:
- fought the Interstellar War for ninety years
- survived losses most men couldn’t endure
- came home with the weight of command still on his shoulders
He was sent to Gretchen in the Rockies to help Shadow Hawk train the newly awakened cyborgs—including Steele and Raven.
He shaped them.
He led them.
And eventually, he learned from them.
Daken’s story is about:
- leadership
- responsibility
- the cost of carrying others
- and what happens when a man who always walked ahead… allows someone to walk beside him.
Together, They Form the Spine of the Cyborg Guardians
Across these books, the deeper arc explores:
⭐ Awakening into humanity (Steele)
⭐ Testing the limits of choice (Raven)
⭐ Bearing the weight of leadership (Daken)
Each book stands alone.
Together, they create the foundation of the new era of cyborg protectors.
And Daken’s story is where those threads finally converge.
