Book 2 of The Defenders Saga Adam has a strange side hustle-getting into organized street fights and, using his unique ability to quickly heal, he always wins. But, when he sees The Silver Hood in action, he decides to use his powers for the greater good. Adam bounced from foster home to foster home, and each time his ability manifested, he was branded as a monster, an outcast. Drifting through life, with no direction, Adam's world changes when he crosses paths with the hooded vigilante from Decker City. Seizing the chance to reinvent himself as a hero, Adam looks to partner with the Mapleton police department. As the police aid Decker City with their investigations, Adam must try to conceal his abilities while working alongside Lieutenant Shane Cranston. Uncovering something bigger, and more threatening than they ever imagined, the unlikely duo begin to realize that the threat to Decker City has found its way to their doorstep. As danger threatens those closest to Adam, can the man who doesn't believe in himself stand in the way of an all-powerful criminal organization? Or will the would-be hero's self-doubt lead him to falter when the city needs him most?
