Series overview[edit]
Renegades[edit]
Ten years before the book begins, six-year-old Nova Artino, AKA Nightmare, watches her family as they are killed by a member of the villain gang the Roaches, while the Renegades, a superhero organization, don't show up at the last minute to save then as promised.. Nova is taken in by her telekinetic uncle, Ace Anarchy, and joins his cause: the Anarchists. Ten years later, Ace has been killed and Nova is a full-on member of the Anarchists, set out to destroy the Renegades. At a parade celebrating the Renegades, Nova attempts to kill their founder and leader Hugh Everhart, AKA Captain Chromium, via poison dart. She fails, and is faced by a Renegade patron team. After beating them, Nova encounter man in a suit who the Renegades do not recognize who calls himself to Sentinel. She fights him off too, and escapes in an air balloon with Winston Pratt, AKA The Puppeteer, another Anarchist who is caught by the Renegade council. Adrian, the leader of the patrol team Nova fought and, secretly, the man inside the Sentinel suit, is revealed to be the adopted son of Everhart and his partner, fellow councilman Simon Westfood, founding members of the Renegades.
Adrian's adopted brother is a ten-year-old boy named Max, who lives in a quarantine for unknown reasons. Adrian wants to reveal his identity as the Sentinel to everyone but feel he must hold back. The Renegades come to interrogate the other Anarchists after the assassination attempt, leading Nova to want to undermine the Renegades by becoming one of them and figuring out their secrets. She hides one of her powers, the ability to put others to sleep, as it is the power she used in her full-body Nightmare suit against Adrian, but uses one of her powers, the fact that she does not need to sleep as has not since her parents died, during the Renegade trials, where she is accepted as a member of their ranks. She joins Adrian's team, their first assignment is a stakeout around the Cloven Cross Library, where a former weapons dealer named Gene Cronin was recognizes as having fingerprints on a gun dropped by Nova at the parade. Another Anarchist, Ingrid Thompson (AKA The Detonator, a woman with the ability to create and detonate bombs at will), shows up and ruins Nova's plan, which was to hide to evidence so the Renegades would stop suspecting him. She ends up killing Cronin when he is on the verge of revealing Nova's secret and escapes, so the Renegades visit the Anarchists once more, and they escape to Nova's fake house.
Adrian's team questions Pratt, who covers up for Nova, and nothing is revealed. That night, while Nova is staying up late cataloguing weapons for the Renegades' computer database, she watches Max injure himself. Nova rushes into his quarantine, and almost gets her powers sapped by him, whose ability is to absorb others' superpowers, but she is saved by Adrian, who reveals all this to her. Max lets slip to Adrian that he knows of his secret identity of the Sentinel, and Nova deduces that Ace Anarchy's helmet, which greatly enhanced his telekinetic abilities, is still intact and somewhere in the Renegades' headquarters. Adrian asks Nova on a date to the Cosmopolis Amusement Park, both to spend time with her and to investigate Nightmare. Nova reluctantly accepts his invitation, and plots with Ingrid to stage both their deaths so the Renegades will stop looking for them. It appears that Nightmare is dead, but when Ingrid threatens to destroy the park with her bombs, Nova appears and shoots her in the head, killing her. Afterwards, when Adrian and Nova talk, Nova gets frightened of her feelings for Adrian and goes to find Ace, who is alive in the cathedral he was killed in.
Arch Enemies[edit]
Adrian's team, including Nova, is sent to deal with a band of thieves, but after the leader, a prodigy named Hawthorn, gets away, the Sentinel, really Adrian, appears to try to stop her but is seemingly drowned.
