PRE-ORDER COLLECTION

The Ill-Advised Collection marks the foundation of the Rippaverse. Across these three volumes, readers witness the return of Avery Silman—an ordinary rancher drawn back into an extraordinary life. From Florespark’s criminal underworld to the rise of world-changing powers, these stories showcase themes of legacy, responsibility, and identity while redefining what it means to be a hero.

 

Avery Silman was once an entry-level hero known as Isom in Florespark, Texas, shortly after gaining his special abilities. But a certain event led him to hang up his suit, retreating to a quiet life as a rancher.

 

When his sister, Altona, asks him to visit an old friend named Darren Fontaino—now a feared shot-caller in the city—Avery’s world is turned upside down. The encounter becomes one of the longest and most dangerous days of his life. Along the way, he clashes with other Excepts, including the Alphacore, Yaira, and Santwan. Where is the missing family friend? And what really lies behind Darren’s reign of fear?

 

After the chaos of Darren Fontaino’s criminal empire comes crashing into his life, Avery Silman must face the reality that his peaceful ranch days may be gone for good. The aftermath of his first confrontation ripples outward, endangering his friends, family, and coworkers.

 

As enemies gather and tensions rise, Avery is forced to grapple with the very question that drove him away from heroics: why did he hang up the suit in the first place? The answer might define whether Isom can truly rise again.

The epic Ill-Advised Arc concludes with 144 explosive pages that will redefine Avery Silman’s journey. With Darren Fontaino targeting his family, Avery must step back into the fight—but this time, his struggle isn’t only against a criminal empire. He must confront the deeper truth about his abilities and the shifting world around him.

 

Meanwhile, Sydnee Bloodruth’s investigation reveals dangerous secrets that could tip the balance of power. Trust is tested, alliances break, and Avery is pushed to his limits in this defining chapter of the Rippaverse.
