In City California, Duggan Masters is a living legend. As the criminal Light Master, he has ascended the ranks to become the undisputed overlord of all crime in City. Yet "the game" ceases to have meaning after City's greatest hero, Miracle Man, vanishes without a trace. Left with only the local police to foil his plots, Light Master grows increasingly lethal, and the joy of killing has been lost.

So Duggan does what any criminal overlord would do: he kidnaps Dr. Wallace Cornwall, a famous "psychiatrist to the heroes" and writer of a best selling self help book for heroes, Our Masks, Our Selves. Duggan introduces Wallace to Leona, a genetically engineered assassin who has turned to working part-time as a "cat burglar", and part-time as a serial killer.

Wallace talks Duggan and Leona into retirement, but Duggan has one last plot to bring Miracle Man out of hiding.  How far is one deranged criminal overlord willing to go for the love of his hero?

~PARAGON CINEMATIC UNIVERSE: PHASE 1, BOOK 2~ *This novel serves as a direct sequel to Viper's Bite. I'd suggest either reading it or at least getting a rudimentary understanding of it before beginning this one, or you're probably going to get confused.* It has been 2.5 years since The Viper foiled Dr. Drevis's plan atop the Mercury Heights Space Needle. However, due to the events of the previous novel, her reputation has taken a massive hit; the government has officially declared her a threat and are now sending agents after her, with Vivian O'Leary and her superior Miles Burnstone at the helm. To make matters worse, The Viper begins experiencing strange visions at random intervals that appear to be telling her something---but she has no idea what---and they're beginning to interfere with her job of being a superhero. After she receives a cryptic call from her grandmother, who claims to know the true origin of her powers while discrediting her initial story as false, she departs Mercury Heights for the first time and goes to visit her in Honolulu to find answers, leaving the city under the protection of a newly-reformed Duncan Drevis and his partner, The Crawler, in her absence. Things get complicated after she is directed towards an organization known as The Opulent, who appear to request her help, but secretly have much darker motives. Meanwhile, Duncan and The Crawler have turned over a new leaf and now serve as the joint heads of a massive innovation company known as Lifeline Industries, which specializes in fields such as genetic modification and robotics design. After Duncan's long-lost sister, Monica, is accidentally mutated into the supervillain Shocker following an electrifying lab incident and goes on a massive power trip, Duncan and The Crawler must set out to stop her before she kills the electricity to Mercury Heights for good. • Cover designed by @Castiment
