It's not easy being a superhero's daughter.... Carrie Vaughn has captured legions of fans with her wildly popular Kitty Norville novels. Now she uses her extraordinary wit and imagination to tell a sensational new story about superhuman heroes--and the people who have to live with them. Most people dream of having superheroes for parents, but not Celia West. The only daughter of Captain Olympus and Spark, the world's greatest champions, she has no powers of her own, and the most exciting thing she's ever done is win a silver medal in a high school swim meet. Meanwhile, she's the favorite hostage of every crime boss and supervillain in Comemrce City. She doesn't have a code name, but if she did, it would probably be Bait Girl, the Captive Wonder. Rejecting her famous family and its legacy, Celia has worked hard to create a life for herself beyond the shadow of their capes, becoming a skilled forensic accountant. But when her parents' archenemy, the Destructor, faces justice in the "Trial of the Century," Celia finds herself sucked back into the more-than-mortal world of Captain Olympus--and forced to confront a secret that she hoped would stay buried forever.

In this captivating sequel, Anna navigates the challenges of being a teenager with extraordinary lineage. Her father is a telepath, and her mother is a powerful business figure in Commerce City, while her grandparents were celebrated superheroes. With her exclusive high school drop-off routine, privacy is a rare commodity for Anna. Balancing her emerging superpowers with the need to keep them hidden from her parents is a constant struggle, especially as she and her friends, who also possess powers, meet secretly to train and aspire to become the city's next masked heroes. Meanwhile, Celia, Anna's mother, is deeply concerned for her daughter’s safety. With the resources to provide Anna with the best education and constant supervision, Celia believes she has shielded her daughter from the dangers she faced at a similar age. Unbeknownst to her, Anna is anything but ordinary. To further ensure Anna's safety and future, Celia has discreetly awarded scholarships to the descendants of other superpowered individuals at Anna's school, hoping they might one day step into the void left by the now-defunct Olympiad. The story unfolds as Anna grapples with her identity, friendships, and the legacy of heroism.
