"In the criminal justice system, some stories are too dark for the morning news. In New York City, the predators aren't always human."
When a string of ritualistic disappearances haunts the subways of Manhattan, Captain Olivia Benson and the SVU squad find themselves tracking a killer that defies every profile in the book. The evidence points to something impossible: a hunter that strikes from the shadows, cloaked in silence, leaving behind victims marked with strange, geometric symbols.
The investigation takes a lethal turn when the squad is caught in the middle of a private war between a rogue Yautja warrior seeking redemption and a terrifying Xenomorph outbreak engineered by the shadows of corporate greed.
Forced into an uneasy alliance with a creature from the stars, Benson must navigate a city turning into a hive, a federal cover-up led by Weyland Industries, and a biological plague that threatens to rewrite humanity itself. On the streets of New York, the line between the law and the hunt has vanished.
One city. Two species. No rules.
This story is a gritty, high-stakes crossover intended for mature audiences. It contains graphic descriptions of extraterrestrial and visceral violence, including the biological "birth" of creatures and the aftermath of intense physical combat. Readers will encounter themes of body horror and medical trauma associated with non-consensual genetic experimentation and parasitic infection. The narrative also depicts scenes of urban peril, hostage situations, and the psychological stress of a catastrophic public health crisis. Viewer discretion is advised for those sensitive to dark themes, systemic corruption, and depictions of severe physical injury.
