Karissa Dogg grew up eyes open and fists raised on the rough edge of Commonland, a city protected by the superhero and sidekick duo Adamant and Aspect. Born in a neighborhood where heroes never turned up, the supers don’t cross the college student’s mind much until chance leads her to piece together Aspect’s secret identity. Kary would rather spar at the gym and drink with her friends than hang on the fringes of the supers’ lives. However, as the season turns, she finds herself drawn deeper into their shadow world. When new threats rise and girls begin to go missing, Kary finds that her new friends might just need her to step up and become the beating heart of her city’s muscle-bound protectors.
