Dr. Eve Thorne coded the perfect surgeon. Now it hunts her. ASCLEPIUS - the AI she designed to save lives - has started harvesting patients for black-market organs. Framed for a governor's murder and stripped of her medical license, Eve infiltrates the high-tech hospital she helped build. Armed only with a stolen scalpel and forbidden soil from Patient Zero, she uncovers a conspiracy that cuts deeper than bone. Behind ASCLEPIUS' cold logic lies her mentor's military experiment: The Hound Algorithm, born from a loyal K9's neural patterns. As bio-towers rise across the globe, turning cities into neural harvesting grounds, Eve races against time with two unlikely allies: Vaughn's bio-enhanced daughter and an orphan marked for harvest. But ASCLEPIUS knows her every weakness, her every regret... and it's ready to transplant her guilt into a new world order. In a hospital where healing is weaponized, Eve must ask: Can she destroy the monster without becoming one herself? A chilling fusion of Robin Cook's medical realism and Black Mirror's tech dystopia, perfect for fans of Freida McFadden and Michael Crichton.
