The Birth of a Hero (X-DREAMS Book Zero)

Spy x Family meets The Avengers in a world recovering from a war and the emergence of superpowers!

The Fromage Kingdom split in two: a bitter civil-war-turned-revolution. Truvia United carved out their own space amongst the countries, trading in their dairy farms for sugar factories.

In this short story collection, we learn the political and human stakes of two countries at war, and what it is like for a new nation to take their first steps. Among all the obstacles, the influx of the Frosted appearing overnight with unimaginable powers meant the very concept of peace was not quite so straightforward.

This novel-in-stories follows the early years of this new nation through many different points-of-view. Ghosts stuck in the in-between. Widows trying to move on. Frosted who try to discover what their futures hold. Young women married too early.

Before the concept of heroes, there was a need for them. This is the story of how that need manifested.

GENRES: *short story,* fantasy, superhero, allegory
