Summary: Can a shattered superhero help save humanity’s hope for a better world?

Broken figured she was done with heroics when she lost the ability to fly and fled the confinement of the Extrahuman Union. But then the world started to fall apart around her, and the mysterious Michael Forward entered her life, dangling the possibility of redemption and rebirth.

Michael Forward can see the future, but all he wants is to escape the destiny he has struggled against all his life. When the moment comes, though, he finds he can’t refuse. Now he needs the help of a homeless ex-superhero to save a baby who may be the key to humanity’s freedom.

Monica had a good life with her large family, until two strangers and a baby showed up at her door. Now her family is gone, her life is in ruins, and she’s on the run from the law.

In a time of spreading darkness, when paranoia and oppression have overtaken the world, can three unlikely allies preserve a small ray of hope for a better, brighter future?

Broken grabs you from the start, introducing us to the two main players in the novel, the title character Broken (formerly Silverwyng before she lost her ability to fly) and Michael Forward, who can see the possible futures of others by looking at them. Michael knows he’s going to be left with a baby that will one day either destroy the world or save it, and that it’s his responsibility to get the baby to a place where he can be raised to be a good and kind leader. Michael also knows, however, that he himself is likely going to die in the process.
