Summary
William Byers disappeared for fifteen days when he was twelve years old.
When he came back, he didn’t talk about the lab.
He didn’t talk about the other children.
He didn’t talk about the spiders.Now, two years later, New York has a new vigilante climbing buildings, disappearing into alleyways, and stopping tragedies before they even happen.
While trying to survive high school, grief, his own trauma, and the crushing weight of a responsibility far too big for someone his age, Will learns that becoming a hero doesn’t necessarily mean knowing how to live.
Especially when monsters from his past are still lurking in the shadows, secrets are beginning to unravel, and loving someone can be just as terrifying as falling from a building.
Or:
Will gains spider powers, severe trauma, trust issues, a complicated crush, and unrestricted access to the rooftops of New York City.
