Bloodline of the Fallen

In the aftermath of a devastating electromagnetic pulse that obliterates the modern world, the Voss family discovers that their patriarch's ruthless manipulation of a pre-collapse insurance fraud case was merely a rehearsal. As society crumbles and laws vanish, geneticist Lena Voss uncovers a terrifying legacy: a rare gene variant that silences empathy, passed down through generations. When her brother Erik seizes the chaos to establish a brutal new order in the ruins of Veridia, Lena must confront the horrifying truth that evil does not merely run in her blood, but adapts, evolves, and demands a new host. This is a psychological thriller exploring the darkest question of all: what if the apocalypse doesn't create monsters, but simply releases the ones already living inside us?
