Morgon Newquist unleashed the heroes with the first novel of Serenity City, Heroes Fall, on sale now from Silver Empire:
Victoria doesn't need a Cape to be a Hero.
Living and working in the slums of Serenity City, she has become its faceless and nameless defender. She turned her back on the glittering world of professional superheroes years ago. If she has her way, she’ll never go back.
But the young and forgotten teens she helps are disappearing from the street, and nobody seems to care. As Victoria unravels this mystery, she is lead back to her old life in the star-studded glamourous superhero circles. No matter how much she hates it, she can’t abandon the helpless when they need her the most.
All clues point back to The Rampage, the terrible day when their mightiest champion Achilles fell to darkness. Will Victoria uncover the truth of what actually happened twenty years ago in time to help her lost boys and girls?
And what will happen when the fallen hero Achilles escapes, and Victoria is the only one who can stop him?
This novel is full of great world building, colorful characters, and classic superhero action. From the rise and fall of the Triumvirate to the gleeful chaos of one villain, I got a strong DC comics vibe.
The action is vibrant and the stakes, both personal and city-wide, loom large for the heroes. Choices made in this book beg to be answered in later installments. The characters are consistent and complex, as heroes fall and, maybe, rise.
This was a brilliant outing by Newquist. Any fans of the Justice League or Young Justice cartoons would do well to check this out.
You can find Heroes Fall on Amazon or at the Silver Empire store. Better yet, join the newly launched Silver Empire Book Club and receive a steady stream of top tier fiction from one of indie publishing's best houses.
