Adrian has no past — only the sea that left him on a foreign shore, and the orphanage that gave him a name. For seven years, he lived quietly, protecting the fragile family he found there. But survival was never simple. The world was sick, resources dwindled, and promises of salvation came from men in white coats.
The scientists spoke of evolution. They spoke of a future where humanity would surpass its limits. Adrian became their final subject. Pain, isolation, and the grafting of nature's fiercest traits remade him into something neither wholly human nor entirely other.
But before he could understand what he had become, Earth burned.
Foreign powers descended from the stars, betrayal within the World Government ignited war, and nuclear fire swallowed the only home he had ever known. Out of billions, Adrian alone endured.
Now, with no memories of who he truly is and nothing left to lose, he walks a path that will reveal the secrets of his birth, the truth of Earth's destruction, and a vengeance that stretches beyond the stars.
