The Existence

Set on a future Venus, The Existence follows Nora and her scientist friend James as they race to find a cure before a runaway virus and a rogue population of human-animal hybrids push their world past the point of no return.

Behind the engineered biology and the schemes of the story's antagonist, an ambitious scientist named Victoria, the book is really about what survival costs a small group of people — loss, resilience, and the reunions that make the fight worth it.
