NEW VERSION!
~
Havenbrook City. Where nine o'clock curfews exist, and the streets are crawling with superhumans the public has cast out, known as Deviates. No one really knows how they gain such power, because not many people have survived an encounter.
Stevie Jones is lucky to be a survivor, though she would have died if it weren't for a Deviate blended with shadows swooping in and saving her. But she's just trying to stay on the road her parents paved for her. Now that she landed a scholarship and is attending her dream class, it seems that her future is bright. However, her attitude changes when she suddenly wakes up as a Deviate with no warning, no reason.
Desperate for answers, she'll seek out the man who saved her life before being a Deviate ruins her reputation. Even if he's not quite the nicest hero around.
Derek Harvard, or "Dark," is a Deviate. And he hates it. Every day is a further struggle to keep his power and anger under control. Good thing getting his adrenaline fix and beating up the corrupt Deviates is just the stress relief he needs. When Stevie inserts herself into his lifestyle, he thinks this is going to be hell... but something about Stevie quells the fire teeming inside him, and it may be the only reason he's agreed to help her out.
Working together, these two unlikely friends explore the underbelly of the world of Deviates, encountering jaw-dropping truths, an attractive ninja, and powerful fire-wielding foes hired to target them. That is, if Stevie can balance all this action with home life and school.
If she keeps poking around with trouble, both worlds may have to collide.
