Ever the Hero

Superheroes are big business. Imagine not being able to afford them.

Fifty years ago, an alien ship crashed in an American city. Cosmic radiation gave some superhuman powers. A fearful world bound their abilities in the law, and now, the Empowered can only use their abilities for a fee. Not everyone can afford them.

Kit Baldwin scavenges the ruins for alien debris, the city’s only industry. When she finds the alien's long-lost power source, it pays off more than she ever hoped. The artifact draws the attention of Valene Blackwood, the most beautiful and powerful Empowered alive.

But Valene’s gifts come at a steep price. Her powers debilitate her and silence Break Pointe’s most prominent advocate in its darkest hour. The city can no longer afford its dues for superhuman protection, and the Empowered withhold their services.

Kit’s ambition morphs into harnessing the object’s cosmic potential to save Valene from her powers. In love and running out of time, Kit unleashes the artifact’s full power, transforming her forever, as well as the battle over what is owed, and to whom.
