Maggie Trent is dead.
At least that’s what she thinks when she falls out of our world and into the Siren’s Realm.
When a man who’s survived centuries shows Maggie the true wonders of the Siren’s Realm, miraculous magic she’d never dreamt of seems within reach.
But all magic comes with a price, and mysteries lurk beneath the promise of adventure.
With secrets hiding behind every beauty, Maggie can’t tell where the lies begin.
Can the man who’s shown her wonders be trusted with her life?
Will she be brave enough to protect the one who longs to claim her heart?
Is there a way to break free from the Siren’s Realm?
There’s only one thing Maggie can be certain of: The paradise she found is more dangerous than the world that took her life.
Magic demands sacrifice.
Hope is a fatal vice.
Welcome to the Siren’s Realm.

Rookie superhero Spitball dreams of breaking into the big leagues of justice. His alter ego, meanwhile—college student Luke Gillis—is experimenting with love and nearly flunking out of college. Of course, if he spent less time on mutant monstrosities, international supervillains, and flesh-eating zombies, that ambitious degree in general studies wouldn’t seem so far out of reach.
But isn’t armored spandex and kicking butt what life is all about?
Join Spitball and an entire universe of vigilantes and villains as they battle for the fate of the world. And discover—the hard way—that there’s more to being a hero than cool costumes, cable news coverage, and Twitter followers.
The Hero Crisis Superhero Boxed Set includes the complete first season of the Identity Crisis Universe of mature superhero adventure. (Well, mostly mature… Spitball does some growing up along the way.)

Alathea was raised to rule, but the benevolent and deranged forces that hope to prepare her for the throne may create a monster. She’s torn between her father’s reign of empty order through terror and violence, and a magical path that could be completely illusory. In the end, she lives both.

Her father’s yearning to raise a strong and steadfast heir compromises what little time they spend together. Her tutor intends to help her be more sensible than her father, but he isn’t raising her alone. Her nurse manipulates her toward the control of the shadowy Seers.

This tragic story touches on loss, the insatiable hunger for control, the way people live stories and narratives, and the dangers of using conquest to strive for peace.
