[The Only Person Who Can Save You—Is Yourself.] Marco Fellis is a teen rebel who lives by his own rules—until he gains superpowers. By law, all individuals with superpowers must register as “Overmen,” government-licensed superheroes, within 30 days of manifesting their abilities. Failing to do so results in a life sentence in prison or death. Marco is on day 31. Captured and sent to the prestigious “Power Academy” as a final attempt at rehabilitation, Marco faces a choice: conform to the academy's strict standards, be executed by the government, or escape from a heavily guarded superhero school locked in another dimension. The odds are stacked against him, just how he likes it.   (What To Expect) - A protagonist who runs his mouth a little too much (he gets better… eventually). - Comic book-inspired prose and cinematic action. - High-mobility fight scenes with evolving powers and creative combat. -Multiple POVs across heroes, civilians, and monsters alike. - A large ensemble cast with meaningful character development. - Slice Of Life school moments. - Political commentary, clashing ideologies, and morally messy conflicts. - A living superhero world with deep history, lore, side stories, and ongoing mysteries.   (If You Are Reading This Story Anywhere Other Than Royal Road, It Has Been Stolen.
