Two teenagers fight for their place in a world where everybody has powers-and the fate of humanity may be in their hands-in this original superhero series.On July 6, 1963, human history was forever altered. From the depths of space, a golden wave of light bathed everyone on Earth in rays that rendered them unconscious. Six days later, five billion people awakened with superpowers. For thirty-seven years now, superhumanity has managed to keep the peace. With some exceptions . . .Matt Callaghan is a clairvoyant. Unfortunately, his uncanny talent for predicting the future has more to do with observation and psychology (read: lying) than actual superpowers. About to graduate from Northridge High, he still hasn't developed any special abilities. And if the authorities discover the truth, Matt can safely predict he'll be locked up as a scientific curiosity.Jane Walker is an Empath, feared and hated for her ability to assume other people's powers by touching them. Expelled from various high schools for fighting bullies with a dazzling array of formidable abilities of their own, she's determined to prove her worth and join the legendary Legion of Heroes.Tasked with employing his "clairvoyance" to monitor his new classmate, Matt must juggle protecting his secret inability and keeping Jane and his friends from killing each other. And when the Legion of Heroes offers Matt a place in their academy, his attempt to play off the organization's history backfires into Jane getting accepted as well.As Matt bluffs his way through evaluation and Jane battles for her very life, the pair will soon learn the Legion's true agenda is far from altruistic-and even farther from heroic . . .

Two teenagers uncover a conspiracy within the hallowed halls of a superhero academy-and learn what it truly means to be heroes-in this original series.Ten years ago, the Empath known as the Black Death battled the Legion of Heroes and laid waste to a continent. Infused with the blood of countless superhuman victims, he struck down the Legion one by one, until only its leader, Captain Dawn, remained. When the smoke finally cleared, the Black Death was vanquished-but at a terrible cost to both Captain Dawn and the world . . .Now, the students and staff of Morningstar Academy hope Matt Callaghan, who they believe is a clairvoyant, will lead them to a bright and glorious future. Unfortunately, Matt is a fraud, completely powerless and having so far managed to deceive everyone, even Captain Dawn, with vague predictions and bald-faced lies. But now the Legion is starting to reform, and with the fate of the world at stake, it won't be long before Matt's lies start catching up to him.Only one person knows Matt's secret: Jane Walker, the sole Empath enrolled at the Academy. Determined to break free from the Black Death's shadow, Jane has fought harder than anyone to earn a place in the new Legion's ranks, and her ambition and abilities have earned her the attention of Captain Dawn-though perhaps not in the way Jane had wished. For inside her burns something hungry . . . and dark.As Jane begins to embrace her identity and Matt continues to hide his, unknown forces will pull them into an invisible war. And when Morningstar's secrets are ultimately revealed, there's no turning back.
