Plague

by Adrienne Dellwo, Ian Thomas Healy (Editor), Scott Story (Illustrations)

RAISED ON HATE AND FEARZeke Shepherd only knows the beliefs of his home, a compound of parahuman-hating white supremacists in Northern Idaho. When he manifests the ability to control swarms of insects and small animals, it's the most terrifying thing he can imagine. He's become the very thing he's supposed to despise. His only friend and confidant, Gabe, suffers from a similar problem, having been forced through anti-gay conversion therapy by his abusive family. When the two boys discover the compound elders' plans for a terrorist attack on the citizens of Coeur d'Alene, they know they must escape and find a way to stop it. RAISED ON HOPE AND HEROISM Young superhero-in-training WyldWing is home in Coeur d'Alene for the summer, visited by her friends Fireball and Meta Moth. Can the three Hero Academy students halt the terrorists with Zeke and Gabe's help, or will they become the hate group's first casualties in a rage-fueled mass murder?
