Ruthless

“Don’t make a scene, Marcus.” Quinn’s eyes, always so cold, flicked over him as if he were an unwanted stain. “A Saintess can’t be sullied by a man like you. Keep your distance.” For three years, Marcus Steel was a ghost in his own marriage. His wife, worshipped for her holy power, never let him near—not even a touch, not a night together. Yet every gathering, she let Alexander—her so-called ‘brother,’ his former best friend—rest his head in her lap, her hand stroking his hair, their laughter intimate and careless for the world to see. “Does it ever bother you?” Marcus whispered one night, desperation thick in his voice. “That you give him what you never gave me?” Sophia only smiled, distant as ever. “Alexander needs me. You… you’re just my duty.” When the earthquake shattered the banquet hall, Marcus reached for her through the falling debris. “Quinn! Please! Just take my hand—help me!” But her golden barrier was already around Alexander. She didn’t even look at Marcus as he screamed, “I’m your husband! Don’t leave me—” “I can’t save everyone,” she said, voice like ice. “Alex is injured. I promised to protect him.” As rubble crushed his body and hope faded, something ancient awoke in Marcus. Flames danced in his blood, power surging from the pain, the betrayal. From the ashes of humiliation and heartbreak, a dragon roared to life. Marcus Steel is dead. The Dragon King rises—and the Saintess will beg for mercy she never showed.

Five years after the Red Rose plague transformed Chicago into a vegetative hell, Nico Moretti survives as a monster wearing human skin. Known as Subject 01, Nico is the Patient Zero who successfully adapted to the alien seeds from Aegis Pharma. However, that power comes with a horrific price: every 1% increase in Mutation permanently strips away 1% of his memories. In the midst of the Great Bloom Cycle that has begun to destroy the remnants of civilization, Nico rescues Elena Vance, a scientist who holds the secret key to Project Catalyst. Nico is now hunted not only by the Apostles—humans who worship the plague—but also by Sovereign, the collective consciousness of the roses that seeks to take over his body completely. With the arrival of The Reapers from space and a military ready to incinerate the city, Nico must fight through thousands of Bloomers toward the Greenhouse. He must choose: lose all his memories to become a God who destroys his enemies, or die as a human who doesn't remember who he is. Blood must be spilled, mutations must bloom. Because in this world, power isn't free—it is paid for with the soul.
