Summary
No memory, no resources, no secret lair, and no time to find her feet: this is the story of a self-made villain, and her fall into strife. Fleeing from unknown enemies and an early death, she emerges into a city gone dark in the aftermath of a complete systems failure. Hounded by heroes, menaced by gangs, and helped by the most unlikely of allies, she claws her way up from weakness to strength and works to build a better future for those who deserve it.
To survive, she'll need strength to stand toe-to-toe against secretly supernatural foes, compassion to work with the dregs and outcasts of a broken society, and cunning to outwit intelligence beyond human kind.
The challenge is great…but she is Dire.
And Icon City will never be the same again.

'Despicable Me' but 'Watchmen'
Seiple keeps writing stories that are original but therefore hard to peg.
We follow a main character as she slowly becomes both a reluctant hero and villain.
Seiple's story asks moral and ethical questions in a present day Sci-fi, while keeping things grounded with very real and human characters, also while being suspenseful. I think this is a brilliant start to the Dire Saga.
Only pet peeve that, the narrator tends to a fall back into a certain California (?) American accent, which does not help sell a young super genius vibe. Seems to be less in following books.
