Val Hall: the Even Years — Alma Alexander

Not Odin's fabled Valhalla. Val Hall. Men and women in whom an extraordinary moment releases an extraordinary power - Superheroes (Third Class), not gods or aliens or rich eccentrics able to purchase status with expensive gadgetry, but perfectly ordinary human beings in whom something powerful is triggered and who are changed utterly in that moment - can gather here with others of their kind in the twilight of their lives in search of security, contentment, care, and peace. Their powers are banked, until the moment that they are kindled into something unforgettable. They could be your brother, your sweetheart, your friend. They could be you. A Superhero may sleep in the heart of all of us. These are their stories.
