What would you do if you knew there were enemies near the ones you love?
If you had to choose between hiding your true self to live the simple life you wanted and risking everything for the sake of everyone, what would you choose?
Only one night changes everything for Samantha Daley, a now 20-year-old Cashier from the Philippines.
The woman knows that her wish of having a quiet life is over. Her past, a burden she thought she'd escaped, reemerges, revealing her true destiny: to be the world's savior, the last bastion against a force that has plunged her own world into darkness.
Samantha is thrust back into a role she never wanted, wielding a power she never sought. But as she embraces her destiny, she grapples with a moral dilemma: can she truly be the unshackled force she's meant to be? Can she sacrifice her ideals to vanquish the evil that threatens to consume her own world? The world who gave her so much pain. The world she used to call home.
The Reign of the Unshackled begins, but will it bring salvation or unleash a chaos that eclipses even the darkness she's vowed to defeat?
She is a mystery, a blend of the familiar and the unknown, and a puzzle waiting to be solved.

" Don't be fooled by what you see, my dear. I might wear a smile, a mask of kindness, even a touch of innocence. You might see a fragile, powerless creature, but that's just a surface, a facade. The truth runs deeper. And if you're truly determined to uncover it, to know the real me, be sure you're ready. Because what you find might not be what you expect. It might be something you wish you never knew. "

In the city of NYC---
Ok. Hold up. First of all, New York City. What, are ya gonna assume everyone here knows what NYC is? Anyway, this is about two people. I can almost hear you rolling your eyes. Another cliché teen fiction with a bad boy and a good girl? Nope. This is about superheroes. I can still hear you rolling your eyes. Superheroes. Like in comic books? Like people with super speed and mutant powers? Yes. But this isn't about the fight they have. More about the lives they lead without the masks. But just keep in mind, people who live in the world have all different skin colours. Do not assume my characters are of one unless I state them explicitly. and diversity is welcome here in my novel!
Anyhow, back to the story. Ever wonder where supervillains go after their fight with the hero? What about the other side of the story? It's not like they sit in their lair cackling all day and planning how to kidnap reporters. What about the lives they lead? And instead of just focusing on that, what if the superhero and the supervillain knew each other? I mean, can they see behind the mask? No, so their identities are secret. So what if the hero and villain were best friends? What if they were roommates? What if they were falling for each other? And what happens when they find out?
Now, I assume you know all of these questions will be answered in this book. But hold on. It's going to take a while. You're in for a bumpy ride. And if any of you got any of the references in this description, give yourself a pat on the back. That is a beautiful thing. And if you can name all the references in this book, you truly are a gift to mankind.
Fangirl out.
