Cinder meets The Dark Knight in this riveting sequel to the darkly suspenseful, reimagined superhero story The Brokenhearted.
Since Gavin’s death, Anthem has tried to forget the heartache and betrayal, to feel normal once more. She doesn’t want to be the crime-fighting vigilante that Bedlam City needs. She just wants to go to school, practice ballet, and help nurse Ford back to health. But while he is recovering from his life-saving surgery, the Ford she knew is slipping away.
Then a new subversive group, whose mysterious leader calls himself “the Invisible,” starts attacking the North Side. The danger has never been closer to home, and Anthem can’t sit idly by. Using her new strength, she begins to fight back, and be the hero she was meant to be. Soon, she is the Invisible’s most sought-after enemy, and he is using everything at his disposal to have her found and captured. Will Anthem survive the biggest fight of her life?

“Anthem Fleet, the ballerina-turned-superhero,is back in this sequel, performing fewer pliés and more kickbox moves…This second bookoffers a much richer, closer-to-the-bone emotional depth than the seriesopener, along with an interwoven back story that will leave readers gobsmacked.Kahaney’s description is so detailed readers will easily slip into thisfuturistic world with its palpably sordid creepiness. Readers unfamiliar with the serieswill quickly track down the first volume, while the rest will be houndingKahaney for the next one.”

“In this action-packed sequel to The Brokenhearted, superheroine Anthem Fleet takes on The Invisible, a group of Southsiders determined to extract blood, money, and fear from the rich, privileged North…Anthem is as daring, naive, and honorable as before. Likewise, the plot twists continue, and few readers will anticipate the conclusion, which makes for a fitting end to a tongue-in-cheek yet violent glimpse into a future of equality, greed, and organized crime.”
