Hot-Blooded - Paperback

by J. Greene (Author), Mariska Maas (Illustrator), Loona Ginga (Illustrator)

How do you keep moving forward when the person leading you is gone?

After the tragic end to their first year of school, Kirin and Ifrit are just trying to make it to graduation. But old enemies are emerging left and right, and without someone to defend them against the school, it's looking increasingly unlikely they will. Worse, Aether is planning something, pockets sprouting up worldwide as unrest grows. The only thing that is keeping the fragile peace is the promise of Pressure's Hero Coalition, but members are disappearing rapidly and the police aren't investigating why.

With a new teacher determined to rid them of Pressure's influence, the class struggles to find someone to trust and someone who can lead them. Ifrit struggles with the guilt of surviving when others did not, and Kirin fears another part of his past has come back to haunt them all. With only themselves to rely on, Pressure's class must find out who is disrupting the Coalition and what Aether is planning, before it is once again too late.

Tempers are rising and violence is on the horizon, lines being drawn between those who are willing to take a stand for what is right and those who are just following orders.
