This is the story of two men. One bad man? One good man? I don't even know anymore. I'll tell the story and you can decide which side of the moral spectrum we're on. I met him on a cold morning before dawn; back then we were both boys. He was stealing food from my father's pantry. That sounds like something a bad guy would do, right? But I mean, I was stealing food from the pantry too. His name was Christopher. He was one of the world's top superheroes, with a successful save rate of ninety-eight percent. He had saved hundreds, thousands, even millions, maybe. We had grown together in a sense. We weren't together all the time, but we grew from boys to men at the same time and somewhere along the line we swapped paths. From bad to good, good to bad, our sides had flipped more times than a coin. Even when he died, our sides had flipped again. He didn't just die, though. He was killed. And I killed him.

❝she is fire; he is ice❞ Cunning, forlorn spy Zara Dubois knew that her life would never be normal. After growing up as the daughter of the head of a spy agency, normal was never an option. It wasn't after her mother died that she learned her entire life had been a lie. The world that she once knew fell like shattered glass at her feet. Now, with her life in danger and a book of secrets in her arms, she's running from the very people who created the monster inside of her. Nerdy, comic book-obsessed boy Silas Bridges would rather keep to himself; he's as introverted as they come. His rather normal days are spent working at a rusty old bookstore, daydreaming about the girls that never fall in love with him and the heroic things he's never done. All Silas wants is a chance. He wants to be a hero, just like the ones he grew up reading about. Zara was certain that there was only one way out of the mess she had been born into: To stop her beating heart. Silas thought he was real heroic saving a girl from a burning building. Zara and Silas-both couldn't have been more wrong. *** Lovely cover by @yookaz
