After Japan's No. 4 Hero, Edmund Gearsmith, mysteriously disappears, Hawks is sent to investigate his abandoned workshop. But buried beneath the inventions of one of Japan's greatest minds is a secret Hawks and the Hero Commission was never meant to uncover.
A dangerous creation.
A life that was never supposed to exist.
A girl.
Violet Gearsmith was made in a laboratory, hidden away from the world, and abandoned by her father with no understanding of who she is or why she was created. To the Hero Commission, she is an unknown threat that must be contained. To Hawks, she is something far more complicated.
Because the more he learns about Violet, the more he realizes they have something in common.
They were both given their purpose by someone else.
Now Hawks must decide where his loyalty lies. Between the organization that shaped him into the hero he is today and the girl who was never given the chance to become anything at all, Hawks must determine whether Violet is a danger to society...
or someone who deserves the freedom to decide her own future.
