A superhero thriller set in the Czech Republic. From the author of the Kronos Project series.
In another world, Lenka Křížová could have been a real superhero. But in hers, no one needs enthusiasts in spandex and capes. In the twenty-first century, there’s simply no demand for amateur crime fighters.
Show business and scandals, on the other hand? People can't get enough of them.
And so, while the world around her eagerly devours every new meta-sensation, Lenka is content living the life of a university student who has her own life under control. She sleeps off hangovers, sleeps through lectures, doesn't answer her mother's calls and occasionally helps a friend in an exam with her “superpowers”. She simply never wanted fame, the attention of cameras, or hordes of fans.
And yet, it seems she has one.

Excerpt from the book:
You might have the impression that this is going to be a story about heroes. You've probably heard enough of them to get an idea in your head of what's coming next, and you're already mentally preparing for an endless chain of explosions, one-liners, maniacal monologues, beams shooting into the sky in the third act, and upside-down kisses. And you'll get none of it. But to meet you halfway… I'll try to indulge you for a moment. I'll tell you about the one time in my life I saved someone's life.
