Dangerous || Henry Danger
When Nia, a quiet, misunderstood girl from New York with a grunge edge and a complicated past, is kicked out of her parents' home, she moves in with her cousin Charlotte in the small, deceptively quiet town of Swellview. Nia doesn't smile easily, doesn't trust quickly, and carries the weight of things she doesn't say. She's all chipped black nails, oversized band tees, and combat boots-blending rebellion and silence like armor. Charlotte's world is bright and orderly. Nia's? Chaotic and heavy. But when Nia meets Henry Hart-golden boy, walking tension, constantly disappearing-something clicks. Not in a soft way. In a slow, aching, what-the-hell-is-this kind of way. Jasper, with his awkward charm and surprising depth, is the first to get close. He sees something in Nia no one else ever tried to see. They start something real. But Henry... Henry sees through her. And she sees through him, too. Why does he vanish so much? Why does he show up bleeding, breathless, lying? Why does Kid Danger-a masked hero Nia once crushed on like a fairytale-feel so familiar? While relationships burn and unravel, secrets ignite a slow fall into chaos. Nia's mother is hiding something dark. Missions are getting more dangerous. And someone on the inside wants Nia gone. With heartbreak, lust, danger, betrayal, and messy, human love, Static Hearts is a slow-burning, spiraling descent into the lives of heroes who are barely holding it together-and the girl who just might tear it all apart.Complete

Raven needs to put the last piece into the puzzle, unaware that she is that piece, the piece that must solve everything despite not fitting the mould of a typical Faerie Warrior, a Kinari, a solider of light. The last Kinari, with the call of the Ouri drawing her closer to where she needs to be; calling her to become what she needs to be in order to face her greatest enemy.
