The Aberrationists
Fans of V. E. Schwab’s VICIOUS will delight in this original twist on the Super genre.
High school senior Will Kendrick always saw himself as perfectly average in every way. However, a series of disturbing dreams and a visit from an old family acquaintance changes everything he thought he knew about himself.
Ripped from the safety of his suburban home by a stranger, Brandt, Will is thrust into an adventure that will reveal his own hidden past, sinister family ties, and world-threatening darkness that only he can stop.
Brandt informs Will that not only are the Kendricks not his birth parents, but that Will's bloodline carries what is known as the Aberration: an ancient demonic strain that gives him superhuman abilities. Now, an organization known as the Collective plots to use Will as a weapon against the man who killed his birth parents, Desmond Duquesne.
On his journey to confront Duquesne in Boston, Will encounters other "Aberrationists" who have incredible abilities and agendas of their own, including the powerful but absent-minded Francis Whitworth, the amoral mind reader Mr. Wisp, and the unstable assassin Candace, who has a peculiar fondness for raising the dead.
