Title: In the Shadow of the Sun Logline: He was built to be the city’s savior. You were raised to tear it down. But when the world falls apart, the golden boy and the villain’s daughter have to choose between their fathers’ war—or each other. What It’s About: Leo Vance has everything you’re supposed to hate: the perfect smile, the glowing powers, and the legendary superhero father. You’ve spent your life in the dark, surviving on black-market contracts and doing whatever it takes to break your villainous parent out of prison. You were meant to be enemies. It was supposed to be simple. Then a brutal underground faction wipes out the city’s top heroes in a single night. Forced into an uneasy truce, you and Leo are plunged into the neon-lit underbelly of Oakhaven. Between ducking death squads, sharing damp safehouses, and patching up each other's battle scars, the lines between good and bad start to blur fast. You quickly learn that behind Leo’s golden armor is a guy suffocating under his father's pressure—and he discovers you aren't the monster the news made you out to be. Outrunning the city's worst threats is hard enough. Outrunning the tension built in the dark? That might just destroy you both.
