Synopsis

In CAPTAIN MARVEL meets ONE OF US IS LYING, NO CAPES is a 90,000-word YA fantasy where the villain might actually be the hero. NO CAPES is based on a former Wattpad novel that received 13 million reads, over 500k votes, and an award for being the platform's most viral story. Seventeen-year-old Madeline Roberts, a high school swim champion, stresses over three things: math homework, talking to her crush, and connecting with her estranged sister, who has ignored Madeline since their mother died in a car accident-allegedly. When Madeline finds herself in a near-death situation, she's rescued by an unlikely ally, the new Supervillain, Dark Static. She knows she shouldn't trust him, but his claim that her mother's death was no accident gives her no choice but to help him. When it's announced that her mother was murdered, Madeline's devastated and shatters a school record at her swim meet, leading the mayor to believe she has powers. Now she's on the run, teaming up with Dark Static to solve her mother's murder, unravel the mayor's evil plan, and learn to use her powers, all while keeping her heart intact. Suddenly math homework doesn't seem so challenging.
