Soulless

A perfect world. A forbidden question. A final deception.

For a thousand years, the world has known peace. Death is absent. The earth yields. The glorified saints walk openly among the living, and humanity has learned to call this order permanent.

At Genaia, the world's premier genetic research institute, Evelyn Cross has spent ninety years studying the biology of a creation set right. But when a brilliant team of scientists reaches beyond a boundary no human hands were meant to cross, Evelyn becomes keeper of the record — witness to a discovery as beautiful as it is blasphemous.

What begins as progress opens onto something older, deeper, and far more dangerous than ambition. In a world that has forgotten the cost of rebellion, one question is enough to change everything.

A luminous world. A flawless vessel. A silence gathering before the fire.
