Series Introduction
The Shar promised to create superheroes using a mysterious portal. Thousands stepped through. Only seven came out superheroes, more like comic book copies.
Dice Ford never believed the portal was real. Until she touched it.
Her world fractures into the life she knew, and the life the Shar demand. As Dice struggles to understand her new powers, a second superhero emerges. Then the Shar’s true intentions begin to surface.
Across novels and short stories, the Dice Ford Superhero Series explores:
- portal‑triggered transformations
- emotional, character‑driven superhero origins
- rescue missions
- mysteries tied to the Shar
- the cost of power
- identity, trauma, and belonging
If you’re new here, start with Superhero Portal, Dice’s origin story. If you’re returning, explore the timeline, meet the second superhero, or dive into the rescue missions.
