Synopsis
An action-packed progression fantasy featuring a unique power set, perfect for fans of iron Prince and Super Supportive. A kinetic hero with a lethal secret and an even shorter fuse. When Vivian gains an ability that allows her to telekinetically apply ten pounds of force, it seems underwhelming. Hardly super. Almost useless. On her first night out, however, she find out how wrong she was as she reduces a man's brain to mush. Do not kill. Many think that’s the first rule of being a superhero… but it’s the first one Vivian broke. Now, pitted against villains, shady corporations, college debt, and the government's brutal hero program, she has to find a way to control her abilities, prove precision is the ultimate weapon, and become the hero she has always wished she could be. The world has other plans. Jump into an action-packed new Progression Fantasy from bestseller Aaron Shih where the line between hero and monster is only a heartbeat away and a hero given F-rank telekinesis will wield S-rank lethality. It's perfect for fans of Super Supportive , Iron Prince , Drew Hayes' Superpowereds , and Worm !
