Wasteland Era: Blood Bonds in a Broken World

Sixty years after the cataclysm, humanity cowers behind walls while evolution runs wild. Gu Chen's father vanished three years ago, branded a traitor. His sister survives as an infected outcast, drinking blood to live, hunted by everyone. When a lockdown threatens to expose her secret, Gu Chen kills to protect her—and awakens something unexpected. By day, he's the revered Awakened known as the Coroner. By night, his infected sister walks in darkness, hidden within him. Two souls, one body, surviving in a slum where violence reigns and trust is a death sentence.
