It is one of humanity's most comforting self-delusions to trust that it can't happen here, it can't happen now. Throughout history great civilisations have risen only to fall. A pandemic is sweeping the earth. In a world where organisation is rapidly descending into chaos and animals lay siege to human populations only one person has the means to reverse the evolutionary jump and restore human supremacy to the planet. The battle to prevail is seen through the eyes of virologist Lily Harper as she tries to ensure a lasting future for all mankind. Second edition includes end note and new cover.

Shape-shifters are on the edge of extinction and it is Samuel's fault. Peri Kellaway is all alone in her quest to save humanity. Ancient secrets are revealed when their two worlds collide. But who will win the struggle for supremacy in a race against time and across the globe to save the future? Can Peri stay ahead of those hunting her? Will Samuel defeat the would-be usurpers to the crown and restore the true heir to the shapeshifters throne? What will they sacrifice to find each other?
