Bianca Williams wakes up in the middle of a destroyed street with no memory of the past two years. Rescued by a group of young superheroes, she's shocked to discover she possesses extraordinary fire powers of her own. As she struggles to rebuild her identity with her newfound friends and abilities, Bianca begins to uncover a disturbing truth: she was once on the wrong side of their battle.
When children with unique abilities are kidnapped by a mysterious villain known only as S, Bianca must confront her forgotten past. Was she truly a villain, or was she manipulated? The discovery of her secondary power to create ice reveals there's more to her abilities than anyone realized.
With the help of her new found family-tactical genius Sebastian, super-strong Penny, airborne Theo, and the reluctant but powerful Jasmine-Bianca races to rescue the children while piecing together her fractured memories. But as her powers grow stronger and her past comes into focus, Bianca must decide who she truly wants to be: the villain she once was, or the hero she's becoming.
In this exhilarating debut, Rachael A. Waechter crafts a thrilling superhero adventure about found family, redemption, and the power of choice. When your past and present collide, which path will you choose?
If you enjoyed Renegades by Marissa Meyer, The Girl with the Fire Heart by Kat Zhang, and Not Your Sidekick by C.B. Lee, you'll love Playing with Fire.
