Nerissa Volkova is twenty-two, brilliant, sarcastic, and one bad day away from losing her mind in Gotham City.
After becoming the top of her class at Gotham University, the last thing she wants is an internship at Wayne Enterprises working under Gotham's most insufferable billionaire. Bruce Wayne is exactly what she expected: arrogant, emotionally unavailable, ridiculously attractive, and handed every opportunity life could offer on a silver platter.
Nerissa already hates him on sight.
Unfortunately for her, Bruce Wayne seems just as interested in her as she is irritated by him.
What starts as late-night projects and reluctant conversations slowly becomes something far more dangerous. Because beneath Bruce's billionaire charm is a man carrying enough secrets to drown a city - and somehow Nerissa keeps getting pulled deeper into them. Into Wayne Manor. Into the lives of the boys who orbit Bruce like broken stars. Into a family she never meant to love.
And loving them becomes the worst mistake she's ever made.
Because Gotham is built on lies.
And so is Nerissa.
The memories she clings to - Greece, her cold mother, the broken family she spent her whole life outrunning - might not be real at all. Strange dreams, violent instincts, and fragments of Russian she doesn't remember learning begin clawing their way to the surface the closer she gets to Bruce.
Then everything falls apart.
The betrayal.
The Batcave.
Volchitsa.
Now Nerissa is forced to confront the horrifying truth: she isn't just another genius girl trying to survive Gotham. She's something far more dangerous.
And Bruce Wayne?
He may be the only thing capable of bringing her back from the edge.
If he doesn't destroy her first.

So when they do, it's sooner than expected, and the Batfamily is shell-shocked and amazed. Sevanna, the drunk yard, the hobo, the failure, was actually a badass, crime-fighting fed?

Broken Heroes
Things are going well for Dick. He's moved out of the manor into his own penthouse, landed himself his dream job as a rookie detective with the Gotham police force, and is spending his nights saving the people of his city as Nightwing. He feels like his entire life is on track, and he's only nineteen. Sweet, right? In fact, things are going so well that he really should have expected them to go wrong. Things are not going well for Jack. Even prison, it seems, can't keep his enemies away. And when the man hunting his is so much more powerful than he thought, who can he trust? Not the Joker, with whom he's forged a temporary alliance. And definitely not Nightwing, who Jack had an instrumental role in kidnapping and extorting. But trust often gets thrown out the window in favour of survival. And when powerful enemies, even deadlier out-of-control powers, and mutant teenagers start popping up around every corner, survival is suddenly a lot more complicated.
