Ash
When Ash Fischer, a young, aspiring hero, joined the Pacific Northwest Heroes Agency, he didn’t expect to be sent into a war. From a young age, he wanted to help people. Yet, war seemed like the opposite of what he had envisioned.
After the war ended, crime rates in Seattle significantly dropped. It was a new era of peace—or so he thought. With little for the heroes to do, their funding was in jeopardy. Ash began to notice some strange things happening around the agency. Missions seemed pointless, almost as if he was being led in circles on purpose.
Ash couldn’t ignore the feeling that something was amiss. Stories weren’t lining up, and he had to get to the bottom of it.
Varian
At age eighteen, Varian Walker enlisted to fight in the war against the LTK Live, a group of extremely dangerous criminals planning to wipe out Seattle so they could use the city to conduct their nefarious operations. Amongst his comrades, he saw some familiar faces—people he graduated with. One person stood out to him the most. Ash Fischer.
As the war came to a close and things began to return to normal, Varian learned something he never should have—something he couldn’t tell anyone. Not even Ash.
However, Ash was a perceptive person, and when he began to grow suspicious, Varian had a difficult decision to make. Lie to Ash and save his life, or tell him the truth about the hero society and risk losing him forever.

I really really wanted to love this. It had a really strong premise and the core plot idea is what intrigued me. The concept itself felt like it could have been full of potential which is why I wanted more from the execution.
The story itself is quite fast paced, particularly in the present day chapters. I found myself wishing that we had more time to really see the relationship develop before everything unfolds. I would have loved more emotional moments that showed their love and connection in depth, so that the emotional weight felt fully built up.
Because of this, I really struggled to connect with the characters. I couldn’t really feel the love between them either. A slower build and more insight into their bond might have made their dynamic hit harder.
I was also a little confused by the handling of the sister’s storyline. Her shift from strongly disliking/hating him to suddenly wanting to help him felt very abrupt? it happens within the space of only a couple of chapters. That change could have been powerful, but without more development or internal conflict shown on the page, it came across as very rushed.
That being said, I do think the foundation is interesting and that the idea behind it is strong, however i feel like it could have been executed with more depth and development to really maximise its impact.
