Having saved Imagination twice now, Indira is on a well-earned vacation when she is kidnapped by the Anti-Heroes. The covert group has one goal: overthrow the tyrannical leader of Fester and Antagonist Academy. After they plead their case, Indira agrees to join their secret mission and go undercover as a student at the legendary school for villains-in-training—where she gets drawn into a virtual warfare competition known as the Badlands.

Facing monster teachers, plotting classmates, distracting love interests, and combative old foes is all second nature to a hero like Indira. But what happens when that heroic nature is turned against her like a weapon? Can Indira get to the bottom of what's going on in Fester before this virtual battlescape spills over into a real war for ultimate control of Imagination?

Indira Story is trying to get away from the drama being created by Everest and Phoenix competing for her attention. But while on vacation, she gets pulled through a mirror into a secret meeting with a group calling themselves the Antiheroes. They would like Indira to sneak into Fester and Antagonist......more

Goodreads review by LS on November 25, 2021

Sometimes I judge a book by how many times I yell back at it. Things like -NO! And, Are you serious? And - NO! That was this book. I can’t decide if I liked the first or third book of this series the best. The second book kind of dragged on, but I endured because I was familiar with the Hero’s Story......more
