Shanya's Saga

About the book

The doors closed overnight, and Dr. Shanya Tourni woke up on the wrong side of everything she'd ever known. After the 'claudtrom'—the closing of the doors—physical barriers now divide the privileged from the subservient poor in 2045. Biomedical researcher Shanya finds herself trapped on a Greek island, cut off from her life's work in the new Boston Center. Her revolutionary research into human mind transfers could extend life indefinitely—but only for those who can afford it. Racing through a transformed world where morality has been redrawn along class lines, Shanya must navigate dangerous alliances to reach her laboratory. Taurus Najor, the authoritarian architect of this new society, wants to weaponize her research for profit. Leo, a mysterious stranger living in the shadows, saves her life but harbors secrets that could destroy everything she's working toward. Now Shanya faces an impossible choice: abandon the research that could revolutionize human existence, or become complicit in a system that grants immortality to the few at the expense of the many. In a world where survival depends on choosing sides, can she find a path that doesn't cost her soul? Part biomedical thriller, part dystopian romance, this gripping novella explores the razor's edge between scientific progress and moral compromise, where the promise of eternal life comes at the ultimate price.
