Don't miss this thrilling second book in The Sapphire City Chronicles!
Verity Fortune is back in this gripping superhero dystopian fantasy.Superpowers don't make you a hero...
Verity Fortune's crime-fighting days are over. In exile, defeated by her smug supervillain nemesis, her shady past exposed--even her own superpowered family condemns her as a traitor. Whatever it takes, Verity's determined to prove she can still be a force for good.
Now, Sapphire City faces a new threat: a delinquent duo with extraordinary powers and a terrifying talent for destruction. Outmatched and on the run, her telekinetic powers faltering, Verity can't defeat this menace alone--but whom can she trust, when the only person who believes in her is her arch-enemy?
