Ayden, a gay teenager who wields both telepathic and telekinetic abilities, is on the run with a fortune hunter he is not sure he can trust. While a megalomaniac ruler's genocidal actions surround him at every turn, Ayden is left to sort out who he is, where he comes from, and how he fits into the chaotic world around him. So for you see, Aberration is not a novel about a character who is gay and becomes a hero; it's a novel about a character who is gay and therefore can be the hero.
