Sixteen years ago, Alex Nova defied the impossible and shook the world to its core. He made children into superhumans and, in doing so, made a villain out of himself. At age twenty, Rex Nova took the consequences of his father’s actions and used them to make himself into a superhero, so he could protect the world his father almost broke. Unknown to him, however, are the secrets buried in his genetics. Hidden truths soaked in tainted blood. Like his father before him, the choices Rex makes when his back is up against the wall will force him to confront things about who he really is, and what he’s willing to become. This time, the consequences will be of his own wreaking, and the fallout will threaten everything he cares about.
