Chimeric Elegy

In a world where genetic engineering has become both salvation and curse, Maya Alvarez is a woman haunted by her past as a pioneering scientist. After years of running from her involvement in the Catalyst Project-a controversial biogenetic program-Maya's fragile peace is shattered when her daughter, Lila, begins to exhibit inexplicable mutations. Bioluminescent scales ripple across her skin, and her body pulses with a dangerous, otherworldly energy.

Desperate to uncover the truth behind Lila's transformation, Maya is forced to return to The Coil, a lawless underground district where biohackers and rogue scientists thrive. There, she must confront the ghosts of her past and unravel the dark conspiracy that threatens not just her daughter, but humanity itself.

As Maya delves deeper, she uncovers a sinister plot to weaponize Catalyst's dormant potential, turning Lila into a proof of concept for a new era of engineered evolution. With time running out and enemies closing in, Maya must decide how far she's willing to go to protect her daughter-and whether she can reconcile with the monstrous legacy she helped create.

Chimeric Elegy is a gripping biopunk thriller that explores the boundaries of love, science, and morality in a world where humanity's greatest advancements could lead to its downfall.
