A Brighter Tomorrow Book 3: Bloom Against the Strom

Some wounds can be healed with a Quirk. Others require something far more difficult.

Katsuki Bakugo is home. All Might has fallen from his place as the Symbol of Peace. And the world Aveline Lotus thought she understood is beginning to change.

As U.A. moves its students into dormitories and Aveline grows closer to the classmates who have become her second family, her relationship with Katsuki changes too. Rivalry has become trust. Friendship has become something warmer. And neither of them is particularly good at admitting it.

Then Aveline meets Eri-a frightened little girl with bandaged arms and eyes that tells Aveline something is terribly wrong.

When the truth about Eri and the Shie Hassaikai emerges, Aveline is confronted with a problem Ethereal Lotus cannot simply fix. Saving Eri from danger may be possible. Helping her feel safe again is something else.

As Aurelia enters her most dangerous operation yet, Aveline must learn that healing isn't about erasing every scar-and loving someone doesn't mean taking control of their recovery.

Sometimes the greatest gift you can give another person isn't healing. It's somewhere safe enough to bloom again.
