After encountering one of the most dangerous villains on the planet, Alek finds himself walking through the doors of Ashfield Academy, a school designed to train young villains. With the weight of his morals on his shoulders, Alek finds that neither the world of heroes nor villains is right for him. With his only ally now being a long-lost family member, Alek has to figure out how to get control of his abilities quickly, preferably before finals week begins.
