SYNOPSIS "Beast Phase": An Epidemic That Defies Nature In a world where science sought to conquer death, research into anaerobic cells unlocked the gates of hell. Scarlet, a brilliant but obsessive scientist, believed she was on the verge of saving millions of lives. Little did she know her experiment would unleash a plague that doesn't just kill, but transforms: it turns humans, vampires, and werewolves into bloodthirsty creatures, dominated by a raw, bestial instinct. Max, a medical student and Scarlet's partner, witnesses the first outbreak in the hospital where he works. But this is not just a disease: it is a biological curse that rises from the morgue, resists death, and spreads like wildfire with every bite. As the city plunges into chaos, Max must face a terrible truth: the woman he loves might be at the heart of the nightmare. Meanwhile, Cassandra, a rebellious vampire from the ancient Blood Guild, discovers her brother has been infected. When her own father orders his execution, she and her cousin Lesvia are forced to choose between family loyalty and outright rebellion, in a secret war that could wipe out the undead. In the mountains, Lysandra, leader of a werewolf pack, watches as her people fall ill and turn against themselves. The hunt is no longer safe, the forests are corrupted, and their only hope lies in forging an alliance with the humans... even if it means revealing their true nature. At the same time, General Caldwell and his troops mobilize to contain the uncontainable: entire cities collapse, the infection goes global, and the world witnesses the dawn of a new bestial era. Beast Phase is a breakneck novel of biological horror and dark fantasy that asks: What would you do if the cure turned out to be more dangerous than the disease? How far would you go to survive? Ideal for readers of: Stephen King, Max Brooks (World War Z), Justin Cronin (The Passage), and fans of The Last of Us.
