The Masks : Our Origins
Susan Johnson used to be Height City’s protector. When she died, her daughter, Alice, was left alone in a city filled with secrets and sin.
Plagued by nightmares, Alice navigates her way through grief, friendship, and understanding her powers.
For two years, she has been going through the motions. She wants to disappear. Would anyone care if she did? Her father is too wrapped up in his own misery to notice hers. Her best friend is oblivious to the truth and moving forward with her life.
​
One day, Alice takes her camera and heads to her favorite diner. There, she meets Casey, a girl with a checkered past and a violent present. She’s the Crime Queen’s champion.
​
Worlds collide and lives change as the two become friends and Alice starts questioning her future. Will she choose to follow in her mother’s footsteps or will she leave Height City to erupt in flames?
If you kill the champion, you become the champion. Casey has been the champion since she was eleven years old. She thrives in darkness and craves danger. Her loyalty is to the Crime Queen.
​
The day she gets together with the boy she adores is the same day she discovers Alice, the daughter of Height City’s fallen hero.
​
Their unlikely friendship pushes Casey to choose between two selves; will she betray Alice and their friends or will she choose love over loyalty?
