Ruby O'Neil never wanted to be part of the chaos that ruled New York City's streets after dark. As April O'Neil's adoptive sister, she's spent years watching from the sidelines, trying to focus on finishing her senior year of high school while her sister dives headfirst into dangerous investigations. But when April becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth about the masked vigilantes battling the notorious Foot Clan, Ruby can't shake the feeling that she's being pulled into something far bigger and far deadlier than she ever imagined.
Between late-night news reports, whispered warnings, and the unsettling feeling that she's constantly being watched, Ruby starts to realize that the war in the shadows isn't as distant as she thought. The deeper April digs, the more Ruby finds herself caught in the crossfire, especially when she discovers that she might not be as ordinary as she once believed.
Now, with the city under siege, the Foot Clan growing stronger, and secrets unraveling all around her, Ruby must decide: will she keep running from the truth, or step into the unknown and become part of a battle she never asked for?
Because whether she likes it or not, she's not just another bystander.
She's the girl they needed.
