There's a thin line between hero and villain. What does it take to walk it? Everything seems perfect for the Steel City Heroes. Dr. Elijah Branton has developed his mysterious power and is falling in love with his day job as an adjunct history professor. Rhett Johannes has started slinging words for the young, influential mayor while pursuing a relationship with an up and coming reporter. Willa Weil has made peace with her vengeance of the past and is finally looking toward the future. But peace comes at a price. Tim Ford is overcome by battling the deadly side effects of Chem’s supersoldier serum, and when the elusive Wizards’ Guild shows up to investigate Tim’s paranormal power the heroes must learn to trust themselves or live with the consequences. The Casting is a fast-paced adventure that struggles with the role of tradition and the shifting line between order and chaos. The third book in the Steel City Heroes saga has more magic, monsters, mayhem, and villains more sinister than ever!. Praise for the Steel City Heroes: “Great book! The book’s combination of guilty pleasure action and cultural cues gave it a contemporary feel while revealing a wealth of history underneath. Amid the backdrop of the steel industry’s disappearance in the prototypical Pittsburgh, The Catalyst keeps you guessing at who the true villains and heroes are in the struggle to keep an American city alive.” “Great read. I can’t wait for the next one!” “This is an interesting take on the fantastic realm of superheroes. Elements in the story can be related to the style of Brandon Sanderson, specifically his Reckoners series. If you love superheros and want something entirely new, this is the book for you!”
