The Maiden

Guided through a savage, beast-infested wasteland by a mysterious voice in her head, Terra Host collapses at the gates of Biodome 26—battered, bleeding, and barely clinging to life. She wakes up in the year 2113 inside a high-tech subterranean sanctuary, taken in by Unit 3D-2C: a ragtag squad of soldiers, medics, and gear-heads holding the line against a world gone mad. But sanctuary is short-lived. Outside the biodome’s energy shields, an insidious viral outbreak turns the infected into feral horrors known as Pawns and Crawlers. When an emergency deployment calls the unit into the ruins of San Antonio, Terra volunteers for the front lines. But her arrival was no accident. With secret directives hovering over her head and an enigmatic power whispering in her mind, Terra may be the only key to ending the contagion—if she can survive the drop.
