Viral to the Core

When the world ended, the Core rose—a city of control, surveillance, and obedience. Buried beneath its gleaming towers, rebellion smolders in the Ruins, where ex-soldier Dameon fights to survive the ashes of the life he once defended. Haunted by his past in the Core’s elite forces and bound to his wife Maya, a scientist with secrets of her own, Dameon becomes the reluctant key to a war neither side fully understands. The Core’s greatest weapon isn’t steel or fire, it’s a virus. VC-1, a serum that can make humans stronger, faster, and utterly uncontrollable. As factions collide, loyalties fracture, and the line between man and machine dissolves, Dameon and Maya must decide whether to control the monster… or become it. But the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes: the Core isn’t dying. It’s evolving. And the sun is about to rise underground.
