After training with the Vindico and using their new superpowers to defeat their evil mentors, James, Hayden, Sam, Emily and Lana are ready to join the League of Heroes. But as their induction into the famed Super Hero group draws near, they are framed by a group of rogue Heroes and given life sentences on the Perch. Thunderbolt, the League's leader, is the only one who can clear their names, but he is missing. Unsure of who to trust or where to turn, the teens' new skills are further put to the test when a group of strange Shadow people start trailing their every move and the Vindico villains are let out of prison. Wesley King follows up his darkly funny debut, The Vindico, with this high-octane sequel, delivering even more humor and super-powered action.
