When beetle-obsessed Marcus dies in house fire while saving his insect collection , he never expected a second chance. But destiny has other plans. Reborn as Soren Cross in a world where technology and magic coexist, he faces a life changing decision and risk everything on biological DNA merger.
While others choose powerful predators like tigers and wolves, Soren shocks everyone by selecting tiger beetle DNA considered the most worthless option available. His classmates mock him , counsellors warn him. Even his family tried him to reconsider. After all, insect DNA merger has the highest failure rate.
But Soren sees something others don’t. His love and obsession for beetle are not something that can be moved so easily.
As he begins the dangerous enhancement process in New Geneva’s sprawling  metropolis, two rival clan daughters take notice. Zara Steelheart represents everything the technological path offers—cold precision and mechanical perfection. Lyra Shadowmane embodies the biological route’s raw power through her panther DNA merger.
Both are warriors in their own right. And both find themselves drawn to the strange young man who dared choose beetles over beasts.
In a world where mutated creatures rule and dominate the wastelands beyond protected cities, where only way of survival is strength and weakness means death.
The question isn’t whether he’ll survive the merger process.
It’s whether the world is ready for what he might become.
