A mercenary named Ivane flew on another assignment—and ended up in the Hive world: a strange, dreadful, and deadly dangerous place made of fragments of other worlds, inhabited by living dead and the most dangerous monsters. A world with no way back. Or is there? Nobody knows. Besides, right now there’s no time to search for a path home. First, you have to survive. For that, it takes very little: become more dangerous and more ruthless than the nastiest monster—while trying to keep a human inside you. Though what Ivane can do best—better than anyone else—is survive.
