Arcstream - by Andrew Rodriguez (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Zephyr Arland is in over his head. What started as an offer of guidance has revealed itself to be something else entirely -- and AzTech's plans for the young speedster go far beyond training him to control his powers. As Michael Copper and Lilian Ronashi tighten their grip, Zephyr has to decide who he can trust, what he's willing to risk, and who he's becoming. Written by Andrew Rodriguez with art by RippaFest winner Lee Sands, Arcstream: False Start #2 raises the stakes as one of the Rippaverse's most promising young heroes steps further out of the shadows.
