POWERBOUND: THE SPARROW [ENGLISH] [SUPERHERO NOVEL]

1985. In Bakerslake, superpowers exist-but they're forbidden or heavily regulated. They call them Singularities: genetic mutations the law monitors, imprisons, or erases. The media paints them as threats. The government files them away. No one celebrates them.

Julie Quartz is sixteen, and she has a secret she can't share-she can fly. Not fast, not high, not gracefully, but enough to break the laws that keep her city grounded. The daughter of a librarian and a mechanic, Julie has always believed that courage should be quiet. But her life begins to unravel when two outlaw vigilantes-The Sparrow and The Crow-start operating in Bakerslake.

Their arrival sparks more than curiosity. Julie sees in them the proof that heroes might still exist-and that the cost of becoming one might be unbearable. Alongside Nick, her childhood friend and self-taught genius; Charlie, a brilliant but unstable classmate; Cynthia, a reluctant ally born from rivalry; and the inseparable Elaine and Leslie, Julie is pulled into an improvised group of teenagers with irregular gifts, each trapped between who they are and what the world allows them to be.

The first season of Powerbound follows the early months of their awakening-a kind of "Year One" for a generation that never asked to be special. The tone blends teen drama, social satire, and hyperrealist action, threaded with irreverent absurdism that speaks to today's oversaturation of the superhero myth.

In this world, power doesn't guarantee salvation-it only offers a clearer mirror of fear.
Powerbound is a story about growing up, breaking patterns, and laughing anyway-even at the edge of death.
