Arena Schmidt has no trouble facing a big wave, but witnesses the kidnapping of her roommate by a bunch of government agents on hoverboards. Arena steals a board to chase the kidnappers down, revealing her natural ability to fly the hoverboards. The CIA captures Arena and gives her an ultimatum: help them find the other boards or lose everything she loves.

Assigned to a geeky unit of spies known as “The Misfits”, Arena struggles to find out what happened to her roommate while recovering the boards for the CIA. Each Misfit offers a unique perspective and unconventional methods, from gorgeous martial arts master Nate to enigmatic analyst Sterling to bubbly, quirky Lorna. Arena finds herself in the middle of gunfights and high-speed chases, on the run from a sinister organization’s treacherous double agent out to claim her and the hoverboards for their own.

The Misfit Spies series are free-to-read spy books for teens and adults. There is moderate violence and several deaths. The second book in the series, Rebel, is complete and also will be published for free soon on Royal Road.
