Asher has spent his entire life running-from enemies he can't name, from a past he doesn't remember, from a destiny he never knew existed.

Shadowed Heroes Book One: The Shadow Initiate As children, they were taught the difference between heroes and villains. At Starfall Academy, Andrea Nox learns the truth is far more dangerous. In a world where heroes are ranked like celebrities and public approval determines power, Starfall Academy trains the next generation of elite protectors beneath the glowing skyline of Elarion. Gifted with rare shadow abilities and born into one of the most influential hero families in the city, Andrea arrives at Starfall already carrying the weight of expectation-and the secrets of a system she was raised to survive. But behind the academy's prestige lies something darker. The Halo Index tracks every student's popularity. Sponsors manipulate hero careers. Entire districts are abandoned beneath the shining towers of the Upper Halo. And somewhere deep inside the foundations of hero society, erased names and hidden experiments threaten to expose the truth behind the world's greatest heroes. As Squad 89 rises through the academy ranks, Andrea and her teammates become symbols the public can't stop watching. But the more famous they become- the more dangerous the system becomes to them. Because in a society built on performance, the most powerful heroes are not always the strongest. They're the most marketable. Perfect for fans of superhero academies, political dystopias, found family dynamics, and morally complex heroes, The Shadow Initiate is the explosive first installment in the Shadowed Heroes series.
