Amsterdam in the year 1705. It is Thea Brandt’s eighteenth birthday. She is ready to welcome adulthood with open arms, but life at home is increasingly difficult.

She loves the performances, and the stolen moments afterwards are even better. In the backrooms, Thea can spend a few precious minutes with her secret lover, Walter. The thrill of their hidden romance offers Thea an exciting distraction from home.

It turns out that having superpowers doesn't always make saving the world any easier. Jenna Ray has to sign up with the Hero and Powers Association to become a registered superhero. This means going back into the belly of the power-stealing, potentially murderous beast, and hiding the fact that her mother is involved with the Villains. Worst of all, it means she can’t be with Blaze—workplace relationships are strictly forbidden.

When a deadly snowstorm strikes the Icelandic highlands, four friends seek shelter in a small, abandoned hunting lodge. It is in the middle of nowhere and there's no way of communicating with the outside world. They are isolated, but they are not alone. As the night darkens, and fears intensify, an old tragedy gradually surfaces—one that forever changed the course of their friendship. Those dark memories could hold the key to the mystery the friends now find themselves in. And whether they will survive until morning . . .

Seventeen-year-old Jenna Ray lives in the quiet coastal town of Nine Trees. Unfortunately, Nine Trees is one of the towns named in The Diviner's famous prophecies. Supposedly, a new Hero will emerge there this year – an event that in most towns is accompanied by a catastrophic disaster. When disaster strikes, a new superhero does emerge—the handsome, charming Blaze. Unfortunately, Jenna has the misfortune of being the first person he saves. And, in the eyes of the public, that means one thing: Jenna Ray has already been cast as The Love Interest.

Seventeen-year-old Jenna Ray has just been saved by the world’s newest superhero, Blaze. And, in the eyes of the public, that means one thing: Jenna Ray has been cast as the Love Interest. No. Not happening. Not if Jenna has anything to say about it (even if Blaze is actually quite cute). But her plans to defy the HPA (the Heroics and Power Authority) and turn down this new role are thwarted when the Villains begin to take an interest in her and offer a life-changing proposition; become Blaze’s Love Interest, while avoiding catching feelings for him, to uncover the HPA’s secret plans.
