Asher Todoroki has always lived in the shadows-literally. Son of the infamous Dabi and the mysterious Mizuki, both lost in the war, Asher carries the fire of his father and the darkness of his mother in his veins. Raised in an orphanage, hardened by an underground fight club, he's used to surviving on his own terms. But when he's accepted into U.A. High, the past he's tried to bury collides with the future he can't escape. With Midoriya and Shoto watching his every move, classmates who don't trust his silence, and enemies from his underground life resurfacing, Asher must decide what kind of hero he wants to become. His power is unstable, his scars run deep, and the legacy of the Todoroki name threatens to consume him. When villains strike at the heart of U.A., and family secrets drag him into battles meant for another generation, Asher discovers the hardest fight isn't in the arena-it's against the path his bloodline laid before him. Will Asher forge his own identity, or will the flames and shadows of his parents' sins burn away his chance to be a hero?
