Summers of Yesteryear

The world is reeling from the near-apocalypse of the Dystopian Takeover that was only just averted by a motley crew of teenagers, including Violet Strokes. Violet now finds herself recruited by a special ops team - Codename Peacemakers - to train to prevent future takeovers from ever happening, along with some of the other teenage heroes. Which would be a lot easier if she weren't struggling to hide her emotional and physical wounds from the last takeover, or if everyone else on the team weren't spoiled rich kids.

Violet is only just now acclimating team when she's assigned her first solo mission—which is good, because she and Alex need some distance. She has no time for her newly reinstated best friend's worries about the possibility that she may or may not have been attacked by Dr. Earnestine and injected with something that could possibly alter her DNA. Violet is ready for some time away to focus on a mission and not on her own confusing feelings. But her mission unearths a different set of feelings.

After months of spy training and several missions under her belt, she's sure of only two things. One, she has superpowers. And two, she and Alex need to figure out what they are and why before Earnestine can weaponize her. There are a lot of other things Violet is less than sure about. Like whether she's smart to trust the team she's started to call friends. Or how entwined Jeremy is with his father's current mysterious plot that the Peacemakers have been assigned to uncover evidence on. Or even that Alex sees her as just a friend.
