At a secret society’s dinner, three lives collide in a world shaped by engineered evolution. Newly elected head of the global government Gren Moritz is drawn into a covert syndicate controlling Rivennia, forced into a lethal wager alongside an anxious analyst and a sharp-tongued supermodel. As hidden motives surface, their choices may decide civilisation’s fate.
What’s this?
Evolution is no longer natural – it’s political.
When Gren Moritz is elected head of the global government of Rivennia, he is ridiculed and isolated by others in power for his stance against the rise in genetic engineering. Following his inauguration, Gren is lured into the dark shadows of the Liffdom Lodges, a covert gambling syndicate that controls Rivennia. The Lodgers promise political backing, but it comes at a price – Gren must partake in a macabre wager. His fellow players are anxious analyst Samuel Rosendale and sharp-tongued supermodel Primula Zhang. As the stakes rise and the Lodgers’ true motives come to light, the rivals form an unlikely alliance, forced to navigate a treacherous web of power. The future of civilisation hinges on the choices they make.
