In Sekhmet’s Shadow (Not All Heroes #1)

But with Asclepion caught between uncaring stewards and bloody insurrection, she'll need to team up with those who are used to working outside the a washed-up superhero, a brooding robotic woman, and the very man who shot her father. Because he is her only link to a conspiracy that threatens to shake the Functioning World to its core, and an insane plan they might be too late to stop.

It may be impossible to save a world on the brink of apocalypse without pushing it over the edge and, perhaps, the world doesn't deserve to be saved at all. As her reckoning approaches, and the shadows of her dreams fall across her present, Sabra realizes that her future may not be filled with the cries of those she's saved, but the screams of her victims...

IN SEKHMET'S SHADOW is a psychological "post-superhero" sci-fi thriller, and first of a trilogy (IN SEKHMET'S WAKE, IN SEKHMET'S HANDS.) It is intended for mature audiences and features violence, swearing, and ideas that may be considered traumatic or provocative. But remember everyone finds love in the end.

Fans of The Locked Tomb (Gideon the Ninth), The Expanse (Leviathan Wakes), Exordia, and Disco Elysium will find something to enjoy in this introspective action series. This is a story for those who want to answer the big questions: can superheroes reconcile the contradictions within capital and themselves, does power corrupt, and is it gay if you're a woman and she's a goth-rock robot?

Is it easier to end the world than end capitalism?

"Bad-ass doesn't even begin to describe it." -- Tommy Arnold

"An incredible work about the tension between pacifism and necessary violence, between godhood and humanity, and between choice and destiny. The pacing is so quick and clean between chapters, the character work so distinct that I never questioned whose POV I was reading." -- Della Collins
