Neon Blood: Forbidden Evolution

Kai is on his knees, blood boiling as a gun presses to his head. The ruthless heiress he was supposed to fear leans close and whispers, “You’re mine now. Don’t die.” Born a useless Shell in a neon metropolis where bloodline protocols dictate social caste, Kai was nothing. But a forbidden illegal transplant changes everything, awakening a taboo Protocol that allows him to devour the abilities of others. At the same time, Eve, the haughty successor of the city's most powerful conglomerate, is dying from a catastrophic system crash. Her only hope for survival is the very 'waste' she once stepped on. Bound by a symbiotic link that neither can break, they are thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse. While Eve fights to maintain her control, Kai discovers a feral hunger for power. With the elegant sadist Silas hunting them from the shadows, the two must decide if they can trust each other long enough to survive. Will Kai become Eve’s ultimate weapon, her loyal executioner—or the monster that tears down her entire empire from the inside out?
