TRIAL BY BLOOD

One super species captor. One human captured. Can love conquer such hate?

Centuries ago, mankind played god, tinkering with their own DNA to create the perfect human. But that ambition proved our downfall. We’re now reduced to living in isolated communities overrun by a world of predators.

My friends are gone, and I’m alone, hunted by a captor who wants me for breeding. I’m appalled to learn that eligible males in Jericho city must participate in blood trials to claim me as their own. But I refuse to be reduced to a mere commodity.
