Description
A HERO NO MORE
After the events of The White Magnolia, Asha has given up her life as the world’s first superhero.
Separated from her closest friends, Lily and Mick, she spends her days alone at school and her nights wandering her neighbourhood, haunted by regrets and what might have been. But when a mysterious boy with extraordinary abilities appears in her life, pursued by a deadly and relentless threat, Asha finds herself unable to turn away—despite her vow to never help others again.
Her world grows even more complicated with the arrival of a bold girl and her brother, new allies who bring their own secrets and challenges. When an old enemy resurfaces and tensions in Ascension’s Cross rise, Asha becomes entangled in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse as a citywide crackdown on Ryft—a deadly, illegal drug that fuels violence—casts a long shadow over everyone’s lives, weaving its way into Asha’s path.
Only wanting to be left in peace, Asha must confront the guilt and grief of her past while navigating the growing danger around her. Can she find the strength to become the hero others believe she should be—or will the weight of her losses keep her from ever rising again?
Packed with action, emotional depth, and moments of levity, this next chapter in Asha’s journey explores redemption, identity, and the power of acceptance in the face of loss.
