He was supposed to be dead. Raised by hyenas. Shaped by hunger. Bound by instinct. For seven years, the savanna was his world. Then the soldiers came to wipe out a pack that had killed a child.

In a world ruled by a system that measures worth in skills and potential, a boy who can heal anything is not a miracle. He is leverage. Now taken from the only family he has ever known, Fix must navigate a world of soldiers, scientists, and a system that does not care about morality — only optimization. Because in the end, the system rewards survival. And survival demands sacrifice.
