Secret Origins

Rescuing father in a dark, superhero-ridden world.

If you've ever wished you could leap into the pages of a comic book, 'Secret Origins' by James Riley offers that adventure wrapped in mystery and wit. Bethany's journey to rescue her father takes you through a world where reality meets fiction, blending classic superhero tropes with a fresh, emotional quest. Between the intrigue of discovering Bethany's past and the delightful absurdity of villain names like The Rotten Banana, this book promises an exhilarating ride for those who love imaginative escapades with a heartfelt core.

Description

Bethany travels to a new fictional world to rescue her father in this third book in the New York Times bestselling series, Story Thieves from the author of the Half Upon a Time trilogy. Owen and Bethany have sworn off jumping into books for good. But they didn’t make any promises about not jumping through strange portals that lead to a comic book world. Jupiter City was once filled with brightly costumed superheroes and villains, but nowadays, there’s nothing left but the Dark. Even the villains are terrified of the Dark’s shadows, and most of the heroes have either disappeared or been lost to mind control. The one hero who might have stopped all of this, Doc Twilight, has been imprisoned by the Dark. But who is Doc Twilight really? And how can Bethany and Owen defeat the Dark without superpowers of their own? They’ll definitely need the help of some old friends and new allies to bring the light back to Jupiter City, and find out the truth behind the Dark. It all comes back to Bethany’s own secret origins. What really happened when her fictional father disappeared years ago? Who is Nobody, and why is he writing these Story Thieves books? And what kind of supervillain name is The Rotten Banana?
