More about Heroine Rises
Starting off small, Madeline takes on bigger cases in the hopes that she can solve the biggest mystery of her life: The disappearance of her father Jacques some 15 years ago. Vanishing under mysterious circumstances and pursing a goal he kept secret from everyone, Madeline hopes to discover the truth about what happened and finally heal the emotional pain in her mother’s heart.
Madeline’s desire to become a heroine the city can look up to pits her against hardened criminals, corrupt police officers, power hungry politicians, and sadistic crime lords. Madeline’s pursuit of Jacques lands her in front of mysterious and mystical artifacts and the shadowy figures bent on protecting their secrets. Madeline quickly realizes that her luxurious upbringing has not prepared her for the quest - but so long as she has her friends - that coveted 'heroic' status will always be within reach.
