Description
All Lucky Jimenez wanted was to prove her worth. After losing her parents, gaining new ones, then being swept away from those as well, the only feelin
...
g she had left was exhaustion. She was tired of being looked down on; tired of being cared for, but tired of abandonment as well. All she wanted was to convince her only true parents, her brothers, that she wasn’t worth giving up on. Lucky trained both mind and body, conditioning herself to join the Superhero Corps because following in their footsteps felt like the only way she could.
Even that couldn’t go right.
Lucky was recruited at an abnormally young age. She was immediately thrust into the harsh reality of being a superhero when her two eldest brothers were abducted by the Corps’s rival planet. Only she and her partners, a kind, unlikely archer (Declan Harris) and a quiet swordsman (Gavin McIntyre), are left to rescue them. That is, until someone who used to be a friend offered his assistance. With his sudden appearance comes a swarm of memories that affect Lucky’s views on trust even before the mission can take a positive turn. In a heartbeat, she could not tell if those changes were for the better or for worse.
Destined is the first book of a YA sci-fi/adventure series (with a few fantasy elements).
