Glass Helix - A Genetic Dystopia Science Fiction

In a future where the human genome is compromised, venturing beyond the boundary is certain death—a death Khai tried to welcome, only to be denied. Now, years later, with friends from his past disappearing, he must do all within his power to ensure the safety of the one person he cannot lose. Mae has fought for every sliver of the life she forged for herself. Chronically ill and forced to hide the depth of her true condition, the last thing she needs is an unexpected stranger showing up to dismantle all she has built. Yet, there's something undeniably familiar about this man claiming a shared history she can’t remember. All Ryley has ever wanted is to serve his community and protect those under his care. With the arrival of the Alliance of Reclaimed Communities to investigate a boundary breach, new opportunities arise alongside the threatening crisis, but as the situation unfolds, he finds the structures he’s been trained to uphold don't leave space to navigate this new reality. With life as they know it teetering on a knife's edge, and the future of the human race hanging in the balance, each will have to decide if this world is worth fighting for.
