He’s pursued by ruthless agents working for the powerful Schillersdorf family and the brilliant Dr. Bonn, who believe his unique DNA holds the key to cheating death itself.Just when existence feels like an endless loop of trauma, he meets Lilyanne Beloshinski. She’s intelligent, captivating, and unknowingly linked to the very people hunting him.
