Catara Lin never asked to be immune to the virus tearing Bobcat City apart. But when her best friend collapses in her arms and masked figures erase every trace of her existence, Catara is thrust into a terrifying conspiracy far beyond a simple outbreak. Chased by inhuman enforcers known only as the Antlers, Catara uncovers a secret: she's the key to stopping ZERA—a sentient virus designed not just to infect, but to transform.
As the city crumbles and reality fractures, Catara must outrun the shadow of her own bloodline, forge fragile alliances with rebels and hybrids, and confront the evolving intelligence that sees her not as an enemy... but as its next vessel.
In a world where memory is weaponized and survival is rebellion, can Catara end the cycle? Or will she become part of it?
