    Summary

    The guard stared at him for a moment, blue eyes blown wide behind his mask.

    It was then the Pythia looked down at the hand outstretched between them. The prosthetic was made of intricately carved metal, covered in vines and flowers twisting together with the shimmer of enchantments reflecting in the purple glow.

    And although the guard’s sleeve was covering his wrist, he knew that in the place where metal met flesh, there was a pair of dark angel wings tattooed on his skin.

    He was right. This wasn’t a real guard.

    This was a Deathling.

    or, Wilbur is an oracle known as the Pythia, chosen to receive dreams of the future from the goddess Clara. One day, he receives a dream warning him that during a ball Emperor Schlatt is hosting, the Deathlings—terrorists who worship the goddess of Death—will launch an attack. When his warning goes ignored, he knows there's going to be consequences.

    He doesn't expect one of those consequences to include him getting kidnapped by a teenager.

    Summary

    The city sprawls in front of him—as dense and expansive as moss growing off the side of a house. Tommy’s ivy tightens, digging his ribs uncomfortably into the railing as it urges him forward.
    Go, its pressure says. Take the jump.
    Tommy doesn’t want to. Tommy, staring at a six-story drop to pasty white concrete below, thinks he might throw up. Pass out. In the best case scenario, he might wake up and find out that this was all some horrible nightmare, and he’s not actually sprouting vines from his hands. He doesn’t actually have a…
    Superpower, Tommy thinks with startlingly clarity, for the very first time. I have a superpower.
    I can’t have a superpower.

    Or Tommy, after an argument with his older brother Wilbur, develops a superpower. In an effort to prove himself, he decides to use his power for good and become “Gold,” the city’s new (and highly illegal) vigilante. Unknown to him, he’s not the only one keeping a secret identity.
