Pyros is an island of black volcanic glass, and at its crater grows a fruit — Maloa’s Blood — that gives twenty-five clean years of life to anyone who drinks it at the tree.Five came this year to climb for it. A nickel billionaire pickled in his own appetites. A financier who has wanted everything and arrived nowhere. A mining magnate who has not, in seventy years, set a single thing down. A longevity mogul who has machined his body for nineteen years into a flawless instrument. And an old woman, a singer, whom no one troubles about at all.Each has paid a fortune — and not one of them yet understands that the fortune was the easy price. The air of Pyros ignites against the chemistry of a life lived badly; the ascent is a moral reckoning settled in fire, and most who attempt it never come down. The company that sells the climb films every step, and a watching world wagers, quietly, on who will.One man on the mountain already knows how it ends. He has read the boats for thirty years — barefoot, carrying nothing — and he has never yet been wrong.This year, he will be: about all of it.Maloa’s Blood — Book 1 of The Darwin Code Series. A standalone literary thriller by M. Eigh. For readers of Kazuo Ishiguro, Emily St. John Mandel, and Yann Martel.

As a sadistic serial killer crucifies victims across New York City, FBI Agent Gabi Longoria fears the murderer’s impossible, superhuman abilities may make him unstoppable. Two years ago, Gabi stopped a global conspiracy and uncovered the existence of superhumans—genetically engineered people with enhanced strength, intelligence, and abilities. Now, nearly 8,000 of these so-called ‘supers’ live hidden among us, their existence a secret the world isn’t ready to face.Gabi and her partner, Ian Armory, are assigned to the case. The killer is ruthless and methodical, staging each body in grotesque, ritualistic displays. With the victims seemingly unconnected—different ages, backgrounds, and lives—the investigation stalls. Is this the work of two killers, a brilliant psychopath, or something even more dangerous: a superhuman turned violent?If a super really is behind the murders, Gabi knows the uneasy truce that keeps their existence hidden could collapse—because a superhuman killer is the one thing that would force the government to expose the truth. And once that secret’s out, the world will never be the same.
