Isaac Hartson is a dreg—a nominal-class metahuman with no real power in a world where the superpowered reign unchecked. Twenty years ago, the battle between the hero Glorybeam and the villain Blacktime left thousands dead, including Isaac’s parents. Neither faced justice. Now, armed only with stubborn determination and the lessons of a life spent cleaning up others’ messes, Isaac devises a plan to make them pay. But Star City thrives on chaos, and every move Isaac makes sends ripples through its underworld. Allies become liabilities, enemies multiply, and the simple vengeance he envisioned spirals beyond his control. To survive, Isaac must outthink the city’s predators before his own reckoning consumes him.
