In Meridian City, even heroes cast shadows. In a city where superheroes are corporate celebrities, justice is a commodity, and public perception matters more than the truth, being a hero isn't just a responsibility. It's a brand. Aurelia Cross is Luminova, Meridian City's brightest and most beloved superhero. Gifted with extraordinary powers over light and radiant energy, she's spent her life representing everything the city considers heroic. But behind the cameras, carefully scripted appearances, and corporate sponsorships, Aurelia is beginning to question the system she's sworn to uphold. Malcolm Knox is a brilliant billionaire with little patience for bureaucracy and even less for corruption. Behind the mask of Wraith, he wages a technologically sophisticated war against the powerful institutions controlling Meridian City, exposing truths that others would rather keep buried. One represents the system. The other is determined to dismantle it. And neither is prepared for what happens when their worlds collide. As political conspiracies deepen and the boundaries between heroism and villainy begin to blur, Aurelia and Malcolm find themselves drawn into a dangerous relationship built on conflicting ideals, reluctant trust, sharp banter, and an attraction neither can easily explain away. Because in Meridian City, the most dangerous thing isn't always the villain behind the mask. Sometimes it's the truth behind the hero. LIGHTFALL is Book One of The Powers That Be, an adult superhero science-fiction trilogy blending cyberpunk intrigue, corporate corruption, political thriller, high-stakes action, morally complex characters, and slow-burn romance. Written by Caesar Fox & Artemis Knight. Currently serializing Act I, available to read free.
