Dragonsbane

Ven is a seventeen-year-old boy genius preparing for Harvard Medical School when his parents die under suspicious circumstances. A mysterious woman offers answers, but only if he helps dismantle a secret research operation tied to his family’s death.

That mission sends Ven through a portal to another world where illegal dragonblood experiments have created impervious human subjects. Under cover as a doctor, he meets Mia, a test subject whose sheltered life and growing independence complicate his assignment.

As Ven and Mia navigate shifting loyalties, escaped experiments, and the ethics of the facility’s work, the search for the truth becomes more dangerous and personal. The story builds toward revelations, hard choices, and an ending that sets up the next installment.
