From the Ashes
From the Ashes | Xen Sanders
2 posts | 1 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
Sociopath. Killer. Deviant. Monster, devoid of morals, incapable of human emotion. The villain known as Spark has been called this and more, and as a super-powered aberrant has masterminded countless crimes to build his father's inhuman empire. Yet to professor Sean Archer, this fearsome creature is only Tobias Rutherford—antisocial graduate researcher, quiet underachiever, and a fascinating puzzle Sean is determined to solve. But one kiss leads to an entanglement that challenges everything Tobias knows about himself, aberrants, and his own capacity to love. When his father orders him to assassinate a senator, one misstep unravels a knot of political intrigue that places the fate of humans and aberrants alike in Tobias's hands. As danger mounts and bodies pile higher, will Tobias succumb to his dark nature and sacrifice Sean—or will he defy his father and rise from the ashes to become a hero in a world of villains?

From the Ashes | Xen Sanders

When the call ends, I sink down to the roof, letting my legs swing over the edge. It‘s funny; people never think to look up, but until this moment I‘ve never thought to look down.

A wonderful queer SFF story to make your heart ache. Tobias - the villain, the stranger from Southeast Asia in America, the heartless assassin, the man in the shadows being torn between what he is, who he is and who he loves, his powers and his own mind. Lyrical and deeply touching story of the anti-hero trying to find his way and *live*.
