Eden's Ascent

In the polished high-rises of Crestwood Bay, geneticist Dr. Elara Vance perfects "Neo-Human" embryos for a secretive biotech conglomerate. When a sentient, lab-created adolescent named Kael escapes into the city's gleaming underbelly, he uncovers that his existence was funded by a trafficking ring using destitute surrogates. As Kael hunts for his biological "template," he forces Vance and her corporate overlords to confront a chilling truth: every luxury in their world is sutured with stolen futures.
