I was sent to this superpowered version of Earth to stop my mentor. Mission accomplished. Now there's a new threat to this place I call home. Neither magic nor superpowers are responsible. It's aliens.

As the only magic user in a world of supers, life has always been a little strange. But now that a new threat has shown up in Caliber City, it's gotten a whole lot stranger. A biotech company is causing waves with its new genetic experiments. By the looks of things, these creatures aren't native to Earth. At least, not this Earth. They're from my homeworld, which just provides more questions than answers.

I thought it would be a triumphant return back to Earth, but the situation on my new home is dire. An old enemy thought long dead has returned, and he's building an army of bloodsuckers. We are the Offenders, the greatest superhero team in Caliber City. Every single member of my superteam holds a piece of my heart, and I won't let anyone harm them. Even if he's a legendary vampire who once brought my world to its knees.

But what begins as a story of protection turns inward. As the miles pass, the youth begin to fear for his safety, not their own.
