<p>(Note to the reader: the sequel to Genophage is Synapsis, and it's going up on Royal Road now!)</p> <p>Two bloodlines of biomages at war.</p> <p>Two families facing destruction.</p> <p>Two millennia since disease and monstrous chimeras ended the Last Era's civilization.</p> <p>Tvorh, a scrappy urchin who unearths wonders of ancient biotechnology…</p> <p>Tvorh's discovery of a Last Era trove is priceless. It's too bad there's no way for him to sell the information and buy his family's way out of poverty, since Gens Nxtlu, the bloodline that holds the city where Tvorh lives, is more likely to torture than pay him for the information. So when a biomage born of Nxtlu's sworn enemies falls into his lap, he realizes there's a way out.</p> <p>A dangerous, bloody way out.</p> <p>Because new allies mean new enemies. Because Tvorh's not the only one who's unearthed the biological wonders and horrors of the Last Era. And because his family isn't the only one fighting extinction.</p> <p>Good thing this street rat knows how to knife-fight.</p> <p>***</p> <p>Genophage is the first book of a biopunk science-fantasy epic inspired by the altered philosophies and weird technologies of Dune, the ever-present familial machinations present in Exalted's Scarlet Empire, and the endless conflict of Warhammer 40K. I will post a minimum of one chapter per week (roughly 5000 words, on average) in multiple installments per week until all chapters are online.</p>
