Marin Hawkes was branded Helix Ark property—until the experiment they built to control monsters became the only weapon that can stop them. As a biotech plague tears through the Los Angeles quarantine zone, she must lead a squad of enhanced outcasts against a living Mother Nest that wants the gene inside her. Her only lifeline is Rowan Ashcroft, the cold genetic heir who helped create her… and would burn his empire before letting anyone call her a specimen again.
