A GOTHIC MEDICAL THRILLER
Dr. Harper Evans traded her Manhattan penthouse for a subterranean bunker in Chicago after a tragic surgical "incident."[cite: 1]
Now, she operates at St. Jude’s, a sanctuary where the patients are gargoyles, mer-folk, and banshees[cite: 1]. But a new horror has arrived: the "Mundane Strain." This aggressive virus doesn't kill—it erases. It attacks the "otherness" of supernatural beings, rewriting their DNA into common human biology[cite: 1]. From high-tech incubators to the ancient sewers of Chicago, Harper must race to synthesize a cure before the city's magical soul is harvested for profit[cite: 1].
