Origins of Darkness (The Phoenix Gene, #1)

They called it a cure. They didn’t mention the genocide.
Seventeen-year-old Jackie knows the rules: if you test positive for the PX virus, you disappear. So when she fails her Wellness Check, there’s only one option.

Run.

Life Rite’s genetically engineered immortality serum cures diseases, but it also rips the multiverse wide open. Jackie is hunted down and travels back in time to stop the serum from annihilating the poor and oppressed.

Jackie races through a fractured universe unraveling the mysterious roots of her twisted family tree, but choosing the wrong alliance triggers the catastrophic, deadly Redistribution Program.

Now, even if she can somehow save humanity...it'll cost her life.

Perfect for fans of Divergent, The Hunger Games, and The Host, The Phoenix Gene: Origins of Darkness is a gripping YA dystopian adventure with high-stakes rebellion, dangerous love, and a multiverse you won’t want to leave.

Also available as an immersive virtual reality experience on Meta Quest and Steam.
