Lena Corsetti was a BSAA operative who followed orders, erased evidence, and never questioned her place in the system. But when one mission went wrong, death was not the end--it was only the beginning. After she'd gotten infected with the T-virus, the team she thought were her allies abandoned and left her for dead. Revived by the very virus she and her team had been meant to destroy, Lena became something new. Something the BSAA never planned for. Something neither human nor weapon could fully define. Now, reborn as Draven Cross, she walks the razor's edge between loyalty and rebellion, sanity and infection. Haunted by the life she lost and consumed by the power she never asked for, Draven's world collides with the scariest and most powerful man in Umbrella's ranks: Albert Wesker. Drawn to him in ways she cannot explain--and should not allow--Draven finds herself torn between rage and desire, survival and surrender. But in a world where betrayal festers as easily as viruses, affection may be the most lethal infection of all. The BSAA created her. The T-Virus and Umbrella changed her. And love... might destroy them both.

May the Dead Lie Still
The world ended quietly. No meteor, no war, no warning. Just a pulse of red light-and then silence. In the ruins of Japan, the Hive spread like wildfire, a biomechanical virus that didn't just kill-it rewrote. Minds, bodies, cities. Everything it touched became part of a greater, terrifying whole. Iris Vale was supposed to die. Infected during the outbreak, she was taken by Nyx researchers and altered with a prototype serum. She lived-but she wasn't the same. Now faster, stronger, and still linked to the Hive through whispers in her mind, she walks the line between human and something else. But her purpose is clear: Yori, the man she loved and lost, is still alive-imprisoned inside the Hive's central structure, the Citadel. Once a brilliant tech entrepreneur, Yori has become the blueprint for the Hive's future, its chosen host for global domination. If he is consumed, the world won't just be lost-it will belong. With a fractured team of survivors, including Reina-the unstable Listener haunted by voices of the infected-and the determined Dr. Hoshino, Iris launches a desperate mission into the living nightmare of the Citadel. Facing shapeshifting horrors, psychic traps, and twisted versions of her past, Iris must use every weapon she has-her body, her mind, and her memories-to reach Yori before the Hive completes its final overwrite. But deep within the Hive's mental realm, Iris finds that love is not only memory-it is resistance. And the strongest virus of all may be the one that reminds us who we are.Complete
