Child of Storms: Old Friends

By A. M. Bowers

At only fourteen, Bea is the local superhero of Elgar City known as Baron in costume, and the responsibility is already pressing down on her. Things only get worse when her archnemesis from afar, The Prosecutor, meets her face to face for the first time. As they interact, the supervillain seems to take a keen, unusual interest in her and begins to act out unexpectedly, seemingly to mess with her head. Meanwhile, as if she wasn’t already maneuvering around this strange supervillain and his ambiguous antics, another danger is lurking in the shadows, and it’s dead set on what it wants.
