This is book one in the DC Icons series. This isn’t like your typical series. This book can be read as standalones. This helped me break a three month slump.
Diana has prepared for this her entire life, and it’s about to happen. Diana will compete in a race. The outcome will determine her place on Themyscira. During the race, she sees a ship explode just outside of the boundary. She sacrifices her lead in order to help save a girl she sees dangling off the side of the ship. She saves the girl and later finds out here name is Alia. Alia isn’t your typical girl. She’s known as a Warbringer-a direct descendant of Helen of Troy who is meant to bring about war and bloodshed. The two must fight enemies of both the mortal and immortal realm in order to save not only themselves, but the fate of the entire world. What ensues is a journey of heroic proportions that will build unlikely friendships.
I love how this book portrays Diana as Diana and not Wonder Woman. She must keep her identity a secret in order to not be discovered. This brings about many scenes of witty banter between Diana and an unsuspecting Alia.
