Public Summary What happens when a girl from a world where superheroes are fiction suddenly finds herself living among them? Nineteen-year-old girl wakes up in New York with no explanation for how she got there. Her first friend is Ned Leeds, who helps her navigate a world where Spider-Man, the Avengers, aliens, magic, and gods are all real. But knowing the stories doesn’t mean knowing the people. As she becomes part of Peter, Ned, and MJ’s circle and eventually the Avengers’ world, she struggles to reconcile the heroes she thought she knew with the complicated people standing in front of her. Her curiosity leads her toward history, mythology, cultures, and especially Thor and Loki. She doesn’t worship the gods she once considered mythology. She simply wants to know what really happened. And perhaps the person she becomes most determined to understand is the one everyone else has already decided they understand. Because the stories were never the whole truth.
