At Vanguard University, saving the world is just another pop quiz.

Orson never wanted to be a hero. His power of retrocognition—seeing memories tied to objects and people—feels more like a curse than a gift. But when he's accepted into Vanguard University, the world’s top academy for heroes-in-training, Orson finds himself thrust into a world of super-powered students, dangerous missions, and secrets that threaten to shatter new friendships.

Assigned to Support Team Valencia, Orson's new teammates are as complicated as they are powerful: Basil, a shape-shifting enigma with ties to the void beyond the stars; Callisto, a battle-hardened omen reader with a chip on her shoulder; her twin brother Connor, a golden-hearted farmboy with super strength; Aaron, a natural-born leader blessed by a Sun God; and Alia, a gentle soul who shapes light into spectral creatures.

But Team Valencia has a secret—the fate of the sixth member Orson replaced that no one will discuss. Determined to uncover the truth, Orson’s search for answers leads him down a darker path, one that reveals cracks in the very foundations of heroism. The more he brings the truth to light, Orson is faced with a choice: expose the truth, even if it means turning the world of heroes upside down, or keep silent and become part of the system he never wanted to join.

As secrets surface and friendships are tested, Orson must decide what kind of hero—if any—he truly wants to be. And when his growing feelings for Connor threaten to complicate everything, Orson learns that saving the world might mean sacrificing the one thing he never thought he'd find: a place to belong.

Teenage Superhero is a powerful coming-of-age story about friendship, betrayal, and the courage to redefine heroism.

Perfect for fans of The Umbrella Academy, My Hero Academia, and Perks of Being a Wallflower.
