Kaya Abaniah believes he’s an ordinary fourteen-year-old
college student. He lives with his mother on the Caribbean island of Trinidad;
he’s passionate about wildlife conservation and has a crush on the prettiest
girl in his class. However, one fateful day, Kaya’s life is changed forever

Kaya learns he has the
talent. He’s a telepath, and he’s not alone. So begins a unique story of
love, heartbreak, revenge, murder, bodyguards, bullies, martial arts, monsters,
snakes, ocelots, secrets, lies, dreams, UFOs, shape-shifters, aliens, clones,
kissing, running, and life after death.<o:p></o:p></div>
