Vaughn brings together mythology, fairy tales, and very human lives, immersing readers in the stories these complex characters tell themselves to make sense of their war-torn worlds." Publishers Weekly, starred review, on Discord's Apple "Carrie Vaughn weaves a gorgeous tapestry of the human condition in a post-apocalyptic world filled with mystery, magic, and immortals. Praise for Carrie Vaughn: "Brilliantly structured, beautifully written. But when her parents' archenemy, the Destructor, faces justice in the "Trial of the Century," Celia finds herself sucked back into the more-than-mortal world of Captain Olympus-and forced to confront a secret that she hoped would stay buried forever. Rejecting her famous family and its legacy, Celia has worked hard to create a life for herself beyond the shadow of their capes, becoming a skilled forensic accountant.
She doesn't have a code name, but if she did, it would probably be Bait Girl, the Captive Wonder. Meanwhile, she's the favorite hostage of every crime boss and supervillain in Comemrce City. The only daughter of Captain Olympus and Spark, the world's greatest champions, she has no powers of her own, and the most exciting thing she's ever done is win a silver medal in a high school swim meet. Most people dream of having superheroes for parents, but not Celia West. Now she uses her extraordinary wit and imagination to tell a sensational new story about superhuman heroes-and the people who have to live with them. Carrie Vaughn has captured legions of fans with her wildly popular Kitty Norville novels.
It's not easy being a superhero's daughter.
