Halcyon City, the morning of Hero Day. Every dawn for six years, Percy Fenwick has polished the golden statue of the Paragon, a long-vanished hero; he is the city's biggest fan and owner of zero superpowers. Today he means to crash the Gilded League tryouts anyway. Then a swarm of clockwork magpies lifts nine tons of gold into the sky and carries off Captain Lustre, the city's last active hero. A warm, witty superhero comedy where the gold is heavy and the dream is huge.
