Villain Complex By E.M. *** There is not a single soul on Earth that does not remember the Day of Light. It was the day that would change history. The day humans became so much more. *** Branwen is human. Or at least, that is what the rest of the world believes. To the government she is a lesser being. To her family she is weak. To the Gifted, she is a minority. So when she is accepted into one of the greatest universities in the world, Branwen is more than a little surprised. But packing her bags and moving to a city ridden with villlainy brings its own problems. The Capital of New Los Angeles holds the world's greatest heroes and the greatest villains. As powerfully Gifted, they reign supreme- two sides willing to do anything to get what they want. As they teeter on the edge of war, Branwen finds herself in the one place she never thought she would be. As secrets unfold around her, Branwen must find out what makes a villain... And what makes a hero.

This book is in 3rd person limited and the point of view will always be Ella's (unless otherwise stated). I try to update as much as I can. This is the rough draft of The Emotions Game and if there are any updates on published chapters it's only for edits in grammar and spelling. EDITING about (1/3) of the book done.
