In a world where ninety-five percent of the population wields extraordinary abilities, heroism isn't just admired, it's regulated, graded, and fiercely competitive. For Elias Shaw, gifted with powers of his own, the dream of earning a place in the prestigious Hero Program is as urgent as it is personal. By day, he's a university student balancing coursework, part-time shifts, and relentless training. By night, he shoulders the far heavier burden of caring for his terminally ill mother and raising his younger sister in a cramped East End London flat.
Every trial at the Hero Program's gates feels like a fight not just for his future, but for his family's survival. Yet beneath the gleaming skyline and polished image of Britain's protectors, whispers of corruption and unseen threats grow louder. When a conspiracy surfaces, one with the potential to ignite tensions between the powerful and the powerless. Elias must navigate a labyrinth of politics, rivalries, and moral compromises.
In a city where heroes are made and unmade in the public eye, All The King's Heroes explores what happens when the measure of a hero isn't just their power, but the sacrifices they're willing to make.
