The story begins in Peregrine, Maine: the epicenter of superhuman activity in the United States. Sorrel Kaiwi, sister and mechanic by day, obscure superhero Saga by night, stays out of the spotlight, working in neighborhoods much like her own to protect others.
That is, until the spotlight comes to her.
Notorious supervillain Motus—thief, vandal, delinquent—approaches Saga one night and asks for her help. Supers across Peregrine are going missing, and his sidekick is among them. Some supers have become erratic: heroes committing crimes, villains crossing their own boundaries, politicians assassinated, and money stolen. Motus has tracked his sidekick to an impossibly secure facility belonging to a company called Remedium. In an epic race to stop Remedium, Saga is forced to revisit her past, question everything she thinks she knows about her family, and uncover the secrets behind the history of superhumans.

This book takes the concept of superheros and brings it to a new level! The plot is well developed, and it's very easy to fall in love with the relatable characters. I've always been a sucker for a good (not overwhelming) romance in the midst of action and chaos. Highly recommend.

I could not put this book down. At the end of every chapter I was left wondering “Oh god, what’s going to happen next?” but in the best way. It’s incredibly engaging and the Gaillard has created such an interesting world. Highly recommend!! (Note: be sure to read the content warning in advance because oh boy does it get dark for a second.)
