Emily and Harry's relationship has been fracturing ever since their hunt for Victoria. Secrets have driven a wedge between them, and the biggest secret of all is a portal Harry has been hiding from her.
The portal leads them into a universe neither of them could have prepared for, governed by a powerful superhero team known as the Apexium. Inside their city, everything appears normal. Orderly. Safe. The Apexium are celebrated, respected, and in control.
But beyond the walls tells a different story.

And the question that changes everything: how much does the Apexium know about what happened out there?
