Villain Complex

If killing a superhero were easy, everyone would do it...

But for Julian Godfrey, defeating Storm Warning was far from the hardest part. His victory over the city's biggest hero quickly unravels into a mess once he learns that the mysterious source of Storm Warning's power has found a new host. Charlotte Hathaway has no idea how to use her new abilities, but she won't stop trying until she destroys Julian's alter ego, Citadel.

Julian should have taken her new powers from her when he had the chance, but he let her go in favor of a new plan: training her for a real fight. It's the only way to prove to his mentor that he didn't get lucky when he killed Storm Warning, and to show the city of New Atlas that he's truly a force to be reckoned with.

Getting close to Charlotte comes with more than Julian bargained for. She's the perfect hero. Determined, confident, and selfless above all else. She's even nice to him, of all people. But if Julian doesn't follow through with his plan despite his growing feelings for her, he has another force to reckon with: Blazar, the villain who raised him and taught him to use his powers.

It seems that no matter what choice Julian makes, he's going to lose. And it's not just his life in danger. With its strongest hero gone, the fate of New Atlas hangs in the balance.
