Layla Hardgens was never average.
From childhood to adulthood, her destiny was to follow her parents' steps to become a superhero in Willow Hills, keeping the city safe from the villains that ran rampant in the streets. Her identity as Fallon, a super with power over water and fire, was kept a secret from the moment she turned seventeen and took her parents' place. Nearly four years later, Layla has settled in well to her double life. By day, she is Layla Hardgens, an ordinary college girl with a love for running track; by night, she is Fallon, a hero who watches over her friends and tracks her enemies to keep them in order. It's a secretive and somewhat lonely life, but she's never minded. Until she meets Trace Valance, a man who has just as many secrets as she does.
