In 1946, war-weary Rose Grantham leaves the grim, ravaged streets of London on a whim, hoping to rediscover who she is and where she came from. Mousehole is a pretty little village in Cornwall with a turbulent past and undercurrent of betrayal, grief and destruction beyond the sparkling blue of the sea and the whitewashed cottages. For Rose, it offers the promise of anonymity, rest and renewal. Or, so she thought. As she investigates deeper into the mysteries of the past, and experiences her first taste of love, she finds that her quiet journey of self-discovery may be much more than she had once anticipated.

Rose thought she was an un-awkward, high school teenager. Keyword: Thought. She had her own personal problems: homework, hormones, family complications, the brat—the list goes on. But her life takes a complete one-eighty when she participates in a round of truth or dare with her close, differentiating friends. Being dared to sneak into the chemistry lab and taking a photo as proof couldn't possibly change a person's life completely, right?

Rose soon discovers she has superhuman abilities and has to learn about her strengths, weaknesses, talents, and of course, how to keep it a secret. She redefines herself by creating a new identity she soon calls, Thalia. But remember: Every superhero has an arch enemy. . . or ten. Cover by me.
