Together, they are the Silver Sisters-and they will defy the laws of the multiverse to protect their own. The mission is simple: survive. The problem? They're starting to care.

To̅mi Andrei - better known as Plasmasonic - is invited to compete in the Skyspire Circuit, one of the most intense hoverboard racing events ever conceived, held on Skyripper Mountain. The invitation comes from her friend Lorelei Feathercloud, who suspects something deeply wrong with the racers selected for the competition. The racers aren't just ambitious - they're vicious, unstable, and driven by unexplained hostility, as if something is pushing them beyond ordinary rivalry, and it seems too normal. Behind the glittering spectacle stands the enigmatic tech magnate Elara Thistletwaite, the benefactor supplying the experimental hoverboard technology making the Circuit possible. Publicly, Elara presents the event as a celebration of innovation and athletic excellence. Privately, however, she has her own hidden agenda - one that involves turning the competitors into unknowing test subjects for reasons only known to her. To make matters worse, Elara has personally recruited one of Plasmasonic's most resentful rogues, Dynamo Damsel, whose relentless thirst for revenge proves to push the hoverboards to their limits. As the races escalate into increasingly heated confrontations across gravity-defying fantasy tracks, Plasmasonic and Lorelei uncover clues pointing to sabotage, psychological manipulation, and a sinister experiment hidden beneath the tournament's dazzling façade. Caught between fierce competitors, Elara's schemes, and a rival who is hoping to see her fail, Plasmasonic must keep her head on a swivel on Skyspire Circuit as catastrophe lies in wait around every bend. *Plasmasonic (To̅mi Andrei, cover image) is illustrated by Bilcassonato!

This is one heck of a Victorian-style fantasy novel. Add a spoonful of steam engines to make that darned technology tree come alive! Add a spoonful of love and hatred, so everyone has good reasons to brawl!

The world-shaking steam technology, emerging technologies, and the wellspring of chaos. Can't deny it, but the fact remains that people keep flocking here to live. This city always gives you a glimmer of hope, whether it's lies or illusions, but it's so close, within arm's reach, making you risk life and limb. A city of hallucinations. I am one of those dream-chasers.

Vought International has discovered a new market for their brand of manufactured heroism: a dimension where magic is real, power is raw, and the citizens are desperate enough to believe in gods. When the Vought Large Hadron Collider tears a rift into the toxic, neon-drenched depths of Zaun, the corporation launches an "alien invasion" on Earth to justify a hostile takeover of a new world Runeterra. For Queen Maeve, a jaded, alcoholic powerhouse drowning in corporate PR, the invasion is just another job-until she is deployed to the undercity and forced to cross paths with Vi. A fierce, street-hardened brawler fighting to protect her home from the golden-armored intruders, Vi is everything the pampered Supes of Earth are not: authentic, reckless, and driven by a burning, uncompromising love for her people. Amidst the chaos of a collapsing multiverse and the escalating madness of Homelander's god-complex, a dangerous alliance forms in the shadows of abandoned factories. As Maeve begins to dismantle the lies she once served, she finds a reflection of her own lost humanity in Vi's defiance. In a world of corporate monsters and staged morality, they are two warriors fighting for the only thing that's ever been real-each other. The stage is set for a war between false gods and true rebels. In the shadow of the veil, the only way to save a world is to shatter the one you're told to protect.
