At Nightingale Academy, where heroes are forged based on the destructive power of their abilities, Troy stands at the bottom of the hierarchy. His gift? Bubbles, harmless, fragile, and utterly unremarkable in a world where strength defines worth. Mocked by peers and ignored by the system, he struggles to prove that power isn’t just about destruction.

But when a single night shatters his perception of what it means to be a hero, Troy is forced to confront the dark truth behind the heroes he once admired. In a world where justice is painted in shades of gray, he must carve his own path, one where power is redefined, and saving lives means more than just winning battles.

Even if it means standing alone.

Carter and Emily watched in stunned silence. The Troy they knew was gone. This wasn’t the clumsy, easygoing guy they used to bully, nor the struggling hero fumbling his way through fights. The man standing before them, bathed in the dim glow of his bubbles, radiated pure confidence.
