Aberration

Standalone Novella ~ Naomi Valkyrie ~ Rebecca E. McEwen

It isn’t natural for a seventeen-year-old girl to be without a social life, but there isn’t much natural about me anymore.

I, Anyanka Truman, am an aberration.

Two years ago, my life changed forever. Self-imposed exile seemed to be the only way to keep me safe from people who would use me as a lab rat, and from those who would hate my differences. Solitude became my new normal, the island my domain.

When new information connected to my condition is discovered, the ultimate betrayal is brought to light. Any peace I’d finally gained is shattered. Inevitable circumstances force me to trust outsiders, and I make the only decision I can…

We. End. This.

A quick read novella for a bite-sized reading escape!
