The Adventures of the Irregulars: The Next Generation

Prologue

When Ananka Fishbein and the Irregulars first said good-bye and ended their adventures with the famous Kiki Strike, they were sad. They had helped Kiki and Verushka Koslova, her guardian, tell the true story of Kiki's mother's death, and her aunt, Queen Livia's, role and betrayal in it. They had helped catch a powerful and dangerous gang that had been terrifying people in Chinatown for years. They had reason to be proud, but they were still sad, because it meant an end to their fabulous adventures. But they did not forget each other. In fact, they stayed very close friends. Ananka and Betty in particular stayed close, although all of them lost contact with Kiki. Ananka had kept a record, and the map of the Shadow City, of her adventures hidden among things in her old room. She would never have dreamed that they would be discovered, and the Irregulars revived, by her own daughter, who would in turn have her own adventures that would turn into legends. The Shadow City, and the glory of the famous Kiki Strike, were about to be rediscovered by the next generation of Irregulars.
