Vex is a super-human criminal. Unfortunately, at the tender age of fifteen, she's arrested and taken into government custody. There, she's presented with a choice: stay locked up forever, or participate in one of their "Hero-Training" programs. Sarcastic, sullen, dramatic, and incredibly determined, Vex narrates her time being held by the government and attending Icarus Academy, where she is forced to confront the secrets she was chasing when arrested -- as well as the indignity of being forced to make friends. *Book One of The Overlords Trilogy*
