   Summary

   Chicago has always been dangerous, despite the mysterious masked hero who seems intent on trying to keep it safe. When Jane Ives, better known as Eleven, runs into a person from her past, she doesn't expect it to end up leading her to new friends, or to the black heart of the city's most dangerous people. She definitely doesn't expect it to lead her to the beautiful man who sits in her coffee shop, who she can only seem to let herself get close to when she has her mask on.

   Despite the distance she's kept all her life, her world is threatened, her heart too eager for love. But the monsters in the shadows will do whatever it takes to get what they want. Her. And not even Eleven's powers can keep her safe this time.

   So what will?
