Perfect for you if...

You enjoy superhero fiction that focuses on the messy politics and egos behind the cape, not just the action.
You like stories about women fighting for their place in male-dominated spaces, especially when that fight is internal as well as external.
You want a quick, punchy read that sets up a larger world without bogging you down in endless world-building.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a full-length novel. At 79 pages, this is a novella that reads more like an opening act than a complete story.
You prefer standalone books. This is book one of a series, so the ending sets up what comes next rather than resolving everything.
You want your heroes to be unambiguously likeable from the start. Lia's naïveté and her idol's outright dismissal of her are central tensions, not bugs.

About this book

Lia possesses exceptional strength and has always wanted to become a hero like the members of the Order of Defenders. When she encounters her adolescent idol Vigil, she gains entry into the hero world and the chance to help Kingston City, a place plagued by catastrophes. However, Lia discovers that sponsorships, media attention, and image matter as much to her peers as actually saving the world. Vigil, in particular, believes she does not belong in the hero profession. Lia must pursue her dream despite the reality being different from her expectations. She must do so quickly, as a dark power that has threatened Kingston for decades threatens both her and Vigil. Duskfall is the first book in The Nightshade War series and is approximately 70 pages long.
