Marcella Riggins is a dangerous woman, wife to a mobster, ambitious and driven. Marcella is also a survivor – and after her brush with death, ExtraOrdinary. Gifted with ruinous powers of destruction, she will bring Merit City to its knees.

Victor is on a new mission to cure himself of the agonizing consequences of his showdown with Eli. Living on the run, with Mitch and Sydney, he travels the world looking for an EO who has the powers he needs.

As for Eli, he’s not been seen for five years, after his arrest for the murder of thirty-nine people. Joseph Stell is after them all. As the director of a new organisation dedicated to hunting EOs, he will stop at nothing to contain the threats.

As Marcella tightens her grip on power, Victor and Eli reignite buried rivalries, and Stell’s personal army take to the streets, Merit City will once more bear witness to vengeance.
