Sins of the Blood

In a near-future America, technician Elias Mercer is the lead plaintiff in a landmark lawsuit against aerospace titan Aether Propulsion, alleging they knowingly poisoned workers with hypergolic fuel. But when a catastrophic reactor breach triggers the "Great Dissolution"—a cascading failure of all legal and digital infrastructure—civilization collapses overnight. Trapped in the lawless ruins of a company town, Elias discovers that his family’s history of unthinkable violence is not merely a curse, but a dormant genetic legacy. As he fights to survive and impose order on chaos, the terrifying inheritance awakens, proving that the most brutal laws are written in blood.
