Womb of Shadows: Gods of the New Age, Book One

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

The baby did not cry. That was the first thing Dr. Evelyn Hart noticed — and the last thing she would ever forgive. When her daughter is born blind, limbless, and silent, geneticist Evelyn Hart breaks every rule she swore she'd never break again. The unauthorized therapy works. But it is not working the way she designed it. Thirty-seven miles south, in a classified military facility, a teenage boy sits in permanent containment. His skin produces a compound that rewrites human biology through proximity. Through touch. Through love. Everyone who gets close becomes dependent. Everyone who leaves begins to die. The compound spreading through the Hart family does not trap them — it makes the trap feel like home. WOMB OF SHADOWS is dark literary sci-fi horror for readers of Annihilation, Tender Is the Flesh, and The Troop. The compound is patient. The compound has time.
