America has fallen. The Western Allied States rose from its ashes—and it does not forgive.

Elizabeth Flores has been running her whole life, ever since the night soldiers took her parents. With a brutal winter closing in, she risks everything to reach Sacramento. The hunters find her first.

Now they’re both “volunteers” in the Praegressus Project—a government initiative to enhance the human race. Stripped of their rights, Chris and Elizabeth must work together to survive the torturous experiments. Every day is a test, and every mistake has a cost. The regime doesn't waste resources on failures.

But only the lucky ones get to die.

Blending the insane experiments of Stranger Things and the merciless dystopia of the Hunger Games, fans will love this thrilling Sci-Fi series. Discover a future where the powerful rule without mercy and survival is never guaranteed. Packed with genetic engineering, apocalyptic dystopia, and a thread of romance woven through every page, this is the series you didn't know you were waiting for.

The change has begun. A new species is rising. The world will never be the same.

Chris and Liz have survived the Praegressus Project, but it came at a cost. The experiments left more than just scars—they rewrote their DNA. Superhuman strength. Blinding speed. Oh, and wings.

Now stranded in the Californian mountains, Chris and Liz must learn to control their unfamiliar new powers. Every heartbeat feels different, every instinct sharper. Less human.

And they’re not alone in the wilderness.

When the facility fell, something else was unleashed. The Chead. Twisted remnants of the program’s darkest failures, the creatures are barely human. They hunt without mercy—and they’re learning.

To make it back to civilisation, Chris and Liz will have to trust their new abilities…and each other. Because evolution isn’t gentle. And the hunters are closing in.

Evolution was only the beginning. The Reckoning comes next.

Reeling from the loss of one of their own, Chris and the winged renegades are in hiding. Now they know the terrible truth about the Chead, the government is more determined than ever to silence them. And with an entire nation searching the skies, it’s only a matter of time before the noose snaps shut.

Then Chris hears whispers of a rebel faction known only as the Mad Women. They aren’t your typical rebels, but bringing down an all-powerful regime was never going to be conventional. And the winged renegades are out of options.

Meanwhile, something far worse is growing in the wild. The Chead are multiplying—and they haven’t forgotten what was done to them. It’s only a matter of time before they come for vengeance. When they do, Chris and the others won’t be the only ones fighting for survival.

There is no evolution without sacrifice. The weak must fall, for the strong to rise.

Chris is dead. And Liz is done running. Haunted by grief, she wages a one-woman war in the streets of San Francisco. With nothing left to lose, she’ll burn the system to the ground. But even a genetically-engineered girl with wings has her limits—and Liz is up against an army. Sooner or later, her recklessness will have a cost. But who will pay the price?

Meanwhile, the Chead are no longer in hiding. Led by the ancient Talisa, the superhuman horde sweeps across the countryside, decimating towns and reaping bloody slaughter. Only the young are spared—so they might become Chead themselves. With refugees flooding into the Western Allied States, the tyrannical government might just be humanity’s last hope.

Vengeance or survival. Liz must choose. If she can’t, there may be no world left to save.

The government has fallen. The war for humanity has only just begun.

Chris has escaped the Director’s control. If only the same could be said for his soul. Tormented by what he did to survive, Chris tracks the Chead across California—desperate to atone by stopping the slaughter. But the creatures are no longer mindless monsters—and there’s too many of them. Even for him.

Liz is the last person he expects at his side. She hasn’t forgiven his betrayal—and she’s not done yelling at him yet. But she hasn’t walked away. With the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, can Chris and Liz work together one final time?

Because love may be the only thing that stands between our survival…and our extinction.

In 2051, the Western Allies States have risen as the new power in North America. But a terrifying plague is sweeping through the nation. Its victims do not die—they change. People call them the Chead, and where they walk, destruction follows.

Runaway teenager Liz wants nothing more than an ordinary life. But when she’s abducted off the streets, Liz learns her government has other plans. In a future ruled by a ruthless dictator, there’s no place for the weak, and she’s spirited away to a facility deep in the Californian mountains. There, Liz wakes in an iron cage – and she’s not alone.

Beside her, eighteen-year-old Chris stands wrongfully accused of treason. The two are now volunteers in the Genome Project – an experimental program to enhance the human race and fight the Chead. Stripped of their rights, they will soon learn the true depths of human cruelty. The two must work together to survive, but even then, their chances are slim.Of course, only the lucky get to die.
