NICK BELL NON HA NIENTE DI STRAORDINARIO. Ma essere il più popolare autore di fanfiction nella comunità di appassionati degli Straordinari è già qualcosa.

Questo, almeno, fino a quando non incontra il più forte tra i suoi idoli, Shadow Star: scrivere di supereroi non gli basta più, ora vuole essere uno di loro.

But he pushes on, following the trail left by Gavin; the son of Robert Livingstone. The half-brother of Gordo Livingstone.

Gordo Livingstone n'a jamais oublié les leçons gravées dans sa peau. Endurci par la trahison d'une meute qui l'a abandonné, il a cherché le réconfort dans le garage de sa minuscule ville de montagne, se jurant de ne plus jamais s'impliquer dans les affaires des loups.
