Billy Lionheart is still wrestling with his super strength as he settles into St. Lydia’s Academy, a school buzzing with secrets. By his side soars Leonard, his loyal lion guardian, now equipped with gizmo mittens that grant him the power of flight. Together, this daring duo secretly protects their campus, keeping their extraordinary gifts hidden from prying eyes.
But trouble brews when Billy reunites with his childhood best friend, Bluma. Their once-unbreakable bond is tested as Bluma’s charm draws attention from other boys, sparking jealousy in Billy. Joined by Bluma’s spirited roommate Anne and Elijah, a brilliant, big-hearted straight-A student, the four form a tight-knit crew. Their camaraderie is put to the ultimate test during a school trip that turns deadly.
While exploring a mysterious tunnel, the group faces a catastrophic collapse. With seconds to spare, Billy uses his super strength to hold up the roof, saving his friends from certain death. The incident is no accident—it’s attempted murder. Back at school, the danger escalates when Leonard, who chaperoned another group on the trip, collapses in Billy’s room, poisoned and fighting for his life.
Someone is targeting Billy and his friends, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. As the mysterious gym teacher Samson watches Billy’s every move, the four teens go all out to unmask the killer behind the deadly plot. Who’s pulling the strings, and why are they determined to destroy Billy’s crew?
Secret Hero & His Flying Lion is a thrilling blend of fantasy adventure and cozy mystery, packed with heart, humor, and high-stakes action. Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and The Mysterious Benedict Society, this third instalment in The Adventures of Billy Lionheart series will keep you guessing until the final page.
