The Blood Key

He was raised to be a weapon.

To his obsessive scientist father, he was a subject. To the butler who protected him, he was a tragic secret. His childhood was a cold, cruel experiment, an ordeal that culminated in an act that shattered his soul.

Now, the world has shattered with him.

A military-funded plague is devouring humanity, the infected evolving. Stronger. Faster. In a world dead set on his demise, he finds the one thing he never had: a family. Thrown together with two other survivors, the broken boy begins to heal, learning to trust and to feel.

But the disease itself is a locked door. The infected cells instantly destroy any attempt at a cure.

And in a world with no hope, the greatest secret is the boy himself. He was his father's one success. He doesn't know it. The military doesn't know it.

And he is the only one who can unlock the door.
