Seoul, South Korea. 10:51pm. 3002 ACD. Nukes, gunshots, screams. Children screaming "Are we gonna be okay, mom?" 25 years later, the world lost over 3 billion of it's population due to the catastrophic and selfish government that rule the individual countries. The noises of gunshots were just around the corner but what did the president do? What did the Prime Minister do? What did the Royal Family do? They fled. They couldn't care less about their people. Bullet casings dropping on the floor and the image of close relative's dead bodies were implanted into the minds of the children who survived. Thus, rebellious acts were more common. Gangs formed. Coup d'Etats. Mass murders, you name it. But 4 of the many gangs were special. Why? You tell me. . . pg13 for violence and swearing and all that

Hi, I'm Melina Andrews. Or at least, that's who I thought I was until recent events. I was living with my "dad" until I ran away because he was an abusive drunkard and a bastard, but I'd never gotten the courage to actually leave until I was around 15, almost 16. But after disguising myself as a boy so it would be harder to be recognized by my dad, I enrolled in a private school called Gakuen for a few different reasons. It seemed like the right idea at the time, and while I love it there, I'm taking a lot of risks. I swear, if my new friend Matthew wasn't helping me, I'd have been kicked out a LOOOONG time ago. Things in me have been changing recently (no, I don't mean puberty) and I'm not sure why. And what's this possibility of my being a... country?

[EXCERPT - FIRST 5 CHAPTERS] THE FULL BOOK IS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE IN STORES AND ONLINE! Never trust a guy in spandex. In Abby Hamilton's world, superheroes do more than just stop crime and save cats stuck in trees - they also drink milk straight from the carton and hog the television remote. Abby's older brother moonlights as the famous Red Comet, but without powers of her own, following in his footsteps has never crossed her mind. That is, until the city's newest vigilante comes bursting into her life. After saving Abby from an attempted mugging, Morriston's fledgling supervillain Iron Phantom convinces her that he's not as evil as everyone says - and that their city is under a vicious new threat. As Abby follows him deeper into their city's darkest secrets, she comes to learn that heroes can't always be trusted, and sometimes it's the good guys who wear black.
