Synopsis

Wanda and Peter Parker embrace great responsibility in the next adventure of an epic multiversal series that reimagines iconic Marvel origin stories.

So many worlds, so little time. Infinite possibilities, creating infinite realities. Long have I watched death court the Scarlet Witch. But . . . what if Wanda didn’t have to suffer her grief alone?

All Wanda has ever known is her friendly little neighborhood in Queens. As an infant, after her parents died, she was adopted into a family where her doting Aunt May and Uncle Ben would always be at the breakfast table. One that includes her idiot brother, Peter Parker, who thinks hiding a spider bite, joining a secret fight club, and becoming a super hero are somehow good ideas.

When Wanda’s own powers emerge, blood, chaos, and suspicion follow in their wake. But as she learns to harness her power under the guidance of Doctor Strange, Peter is standing beside her in the Sanctum Sanctorum. And as they try to protect New York City, the Parker siblings learn that with great powers, there must also come great responsibilities—and greater losses.

Reeling from tragedy, Wanda finds herself truly alone for the first time in her life. Peter is lost to his own grief, and so she must forge ahead on her own. But on her first solo outing, she runs into a mysterious speedster—a man named Pietro. And everything she has ever known shatters like glass.

Faced with unbelievable truths, Wanda is forced to choose between the life she knows and the life she could have.

She doesn’t sleep much.

Goodreads review by Jerry on August 27, 2024

A book about two of my favorite super heroes? You’d think I’d love it, but sadly it was a mess of unfinished stories, too many Marvel character cameos, and unearned/rushed story arcs (especially Spider-Man’s redemption arc). The book starts at a situation in the future that you think will be the mai......more

A functional family Isaac Asimov once wroteI am not a compulsive writer. It's just that, when I'm not writing, I want to be.This statement leapt to mind when I first became familiar with Seanan McGuire. The problem with authors like this is that they tend to lack filters. (Asimov certainly did.) I co......more

Goodreads review by Augusto on December 27, 2024

The story line was pretty good. Alas, I found that the same was good until like the first 100’s pages. The story kept going around on some points that weren’t that captivating. Also, too many characters. I’d have focused on Wanda and Human Torch, and Wanda and Dr. Strange as for in this story, he wa......more

Goodreads review by Neil on September 12, 2024

This was a fun book, a relatively fast read, and I enjoyed it. It is a "fun" take on the stories of Wanda Maximoff and Peter Parker, asking what might it have been like if they were family. I thought the character development was solid. The story had a good pace. It held my interest from start to fi......more

Goodreads review by TJ on October 11, 2024

I really enjoyed this! I’m not a big fan of AU stories, but this one being about Scarlet Witch and Spider-Man swayed me to try it. I was also pleasantly surprised America Chavez was in this too, but her involvement left me with more questions than answers; is that because there was a Loki AU book be......more
