They thought the Steel City was safe. They were wrong. Willa Weil’s power sets her apart from the world—the power to unlock the magic of poetry. But power means little if you don’t know who to use it. Or who to use it on. Elijah Branton’s old life died, crushed to death by molten steel. He wants nothing more than to dig what’s left from the ashes. But when a scaled creature rises from the river, Elijah must embrace the new life he’s been given, or see his city fall. A broken soldier returning home, a deadly monster ripped from nightmares, an aging gangster with his eyes set on glory—to save the Steel City from these threats, Willa and Elijah need to decide what kind of heroes they want to be.
