~PARAGON CINEMATIC UNIVERSE: PHASE 1, BOOK 6~

*This novel serves as the culmination of all five PCU novels that have come before it, and it is the 6th and final novel of Phase 1 of the PCU. You will get the most out of it if you've read all of them first, but the important parts of their stories will still briefly be touched on.* 

"We will assimilate this planet.....and bring every single one of these miserable insects under our thrall. None shall stand in our way." -Malcorchus, King of the Shimmering Plane

The Viper. Dr. Duncan Drevis. The Crawler. Nightclaw. Powerhouse. And Coldsnap, the Harbinger of Ice. Within the span of just two years, these six superheroes have risen up to defend the country from crime, and protecting the innocent wherever they may be. They have all gained a reputation amongst their communities, and the lawbreakers scatter at the mention of their names. All seems well, but a grave threat looms on the horizon. Malcorchus, the King of the Shimmering Plane, seeking revenge for the deaths of Nic'qura and the Opulent, has concocted a dangerous scheme to unleash the full might of the Shimmering Plane and its forces onto the planet, in a bid for world domination. His ultimate goal is the complete and total assimilation of Earth into the Shimmering Plane, and should he succeed.....it could be the end of existence as we know it.

However, there is hope. The mysterious figure known as Giorgio Carlisle has been hard at work contacting all of the superheroes who have recently risen to prominence, in the hopes of getting them to work together against this new, interdimensional threat. Now, with them being called to action, it's up to them to join forces and fight Malcorchus and his team of returning villains to save the planet.....and perhaps also find out the true reason why the king wishes to destroy everything that humanity holds dear.

As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind. "I'm going to destroy those six thrones." ********************************************** Wren Heatherfield has been through hell and back, surviving the deadly trials of the Garner and claiming the title of Garner Champion. However, her fight is far from over, with the real challenges only just beginning. Adjusting to her new life in the Ember Court with her insufferable enemy-turned-friend Kesserian Cinis, Wren is forced to face the truth of how close the six courts of Naturian are to a civil war, with Nox and Wren leading the opposing sides. But the fight for allies she can trust might turn out to be just as hard as her internal fight: coming to terms with her true identity. With the loyalties and beliefs of her past and present self at war with each other, Wren must decide who she is and what she stands for if she has any hope of surviving this upcoming war. Plagued by nightmares and trauma from her time in the Garner, Wren must find a way to keep moving forward. With the weight of a crumbling nation on her shoulders, Wren has one chance to fix the injustices that plague Naturian and achieve her dreams of toppling tyranny, but the alluring power of the throne might prove too intoxicating for even her to resist. A fight for her loved ones. A fight for the oppressed. A fight to save the remaining good in Naturian. The chains have been released. Now the real fight begins.

Soon, the three of them receive a distress call from Duncan's old friend "Moody", the leader of a resistance group in a hidden city in Asia known as the Rusted Citadel, which is currently under the merciless, oppressive rule of the evil Iron Kingpin.

You will give everything to me, for I'm.....your Mastermind." -Maxwell "Max" Atkins a.k.a. Mastermind Half a year after the official formation of The Paragons and Malcorchus's defeat, Herman, one of The Viper's close friends, is reaping the benefits of having saved the planet at large, obtaining renowned fame while regularly protecting his home city of Mercury Heights alongside her, Dr. Duncan Drevis, The Crawler, and Duncan's sister, Monica Drevis, a.k.a. Shocker. However, trouble soon arises after several law enforcement officers start going missing across the country before later turning up dead, resulting in police departments experiencing severe staff shortages. To make matters worse, grave-robbing incidents have started to become more prominent across the U.S., drawing the suspicion of many. The only clue ever found at the crime scenes is one word---"Mastermind"---and the culprits are now believed to be hiding out in Mercury Heights. Commissioner Marvin, the commander of the Mercury Heights Police Department, has begun looking into the case, recruiting Herman for aid as well. But for the most part, they are on their own; with The Viper, Dr. Duncan Drevis, The Crawler, and Shocker all away on a different mission in the Rusted Citadel, it now falls to Herman, Commissioner Marvin, Giorgio Carlisle, and the newly-recruited Officer Didi to bring "Mastermind" to justice and end his twisted crusade against police officers everywhere, before even more members of law enforcement perish under the might of his misguided conquest. • Cover designed by @Castiment

When we return this Citadel to its warring state.....it shall emerge all the stronger for it. In the name of the Mainframe." -Imperator Barrows The enigmatic girl known only as Moody comes from an unstable past. Once a member of a notorious terrorist organization called the Crimson Skulls, she caused havoc and bedlam all in the name of her leader, Dr. Duncan Drevis. But those days are past; after Dr. Duncan Drevis's redemption, the Crimson Skulls have disbanded, with Moody relocating to the Rusted Citadel on one of Asia's archipelagoes and leading a brave rebellion in her attempts to free it from the ruthless, tyrannical rule of the Iron Kingpin. In 2021, they succeeded, with the help of half of the Paragons: The Viper, Dr. Duncan Drevis himself, The Crawler, and Duncan's sister Monica, known as the superheroine Voltara. Moody gained invisibility and intangibility powers, too, and swore to use them for good in defending the reborn city as the superheroine Specter, alongside its new head, King Ryker, and his court: T.J., Logan, Ollie, and Sylvester. But as the Rusted Citadel struggles to escape the shadow of the Iron Kingpin's despotic rule and embrace its brighter future, a new threat has emerged. A movement called the Shattered Circle works to reignite the conflict, with the goal of making money off of both sides for their own gains. With methods such as blackmailing, weapon trading, and information bargaining, they seek to return the Rusted Citadel to ruin and flee with the spoils. Moody has been tasked by King Ryker with investigating and taking down the Shattered Circle, and only time will tell if she succeeds.....or if the Rusted Citadel's dreams of freedom and liberty were always meant to be a fantasy from the start. • Cover designed by @Castiment
