ophelical
Seventeen-year-old June Marlowe should feel lucky he isn't dead after graduation day goes horrendously wrong. The city needs someone to blame and everyone believes June caused it.
Branded a dangerous superhuman, he is imprisoned in Halcyon Center, a facility built to contain the world's most dangerous supervillains. He watches his future disappear overnight: the public brands him a monster. Friends become strangers. The world moves on.
Then a man named Sunday breaks him out, a man who claims to be building a revolution, a world where heroes are treated like people instead of products, a world where villains aren't manufactured to maintain the system; a world where the truth matters.
June doesn't know if he believes him. But when everyone else has already decided you're a villain, joining one may be your only option.
