STORY

Part Twelve: The Scottish Rite Temple

How to Be Super: The Violet Crown (Book One)

In which Dante learns the third step in the Protocol: "Do Something Brave." He learns that this step is grounded more in fear and weakness than in strength and courage — and this is confusing at first. But when an unexpected event propels him into action, he understands not only the third step, but what his "super power" might be.
