In the year 2144, rising seas have devoured cities and farmlands, while genetic segregation has torn humanity apart. In this haunting vision of the future, those deemed "genetically unworthy" are condemned to lives of poverty and exploitation, while the privileged few enjoy the comforts of a carefully controlled society.
Layla, forced into prostitution to support her struggling family, finds her life unexpectedly intertwined with Marcus, the idealistic son of a powerful politician. When he offers her a position in his household to save her from the streets, neither expects the forbidden connection that blooms between them. But in a world where genetic purity dictates social status, their growing love isn't just taboo—it's a crime punishable by death.
As Layla and Marcus navigate the treacherous waters of their attraction, they uncover disturbing truths about the system that defines their world. Their journey takes them across a transformed Earth in search of a rumored sanctuary where love isn't determined by genetic code. But with government forces in pursuit and their own demons to face, survival will require more than just escape—it will demand they confront a society that would rather see them dead than together.
"Unknown Variant" is a gripping dystopian romance that explores the timeless themes of discrimination, sacrifice, and the courage to love against all odds. This powerful debut novel challenges readers to question the true meaning of human worth in a world where genetics determine destiny.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In 2195, humanity is divided by DNA. Those branded 'genetically inferior' are denied basic rights and medical care, forced to serve the privileged elite with 'normal' genetics. Nineteen-year-old Layla Mason works as a prostitute to support her family, numbing herself with drugs to survive the daily degradation. When Adonis Caraway, the privileged son of a powerful senator, suddenly enters her life by saving her from an accident, their unexpected connection blossoms into forbidden love. After they're caught together, Layla faces imprisonment and torture while Adonis risks everything to rescue her. With nowhere safe to turn, they steal a sailboat and attempt to cross the treacherous Pacific Ocean to Australia-rumored to be the only nation that rejected genetic segregation. During their perilous journey, as they struggle with storm-tossed seas, limited supplies, and Layla's unexpected pregnancy, they must confront their pasts and fight for a future together. But the most difficult challenges come from within, as Layla battles addiction, trauma, and her fear of vulnerability. 'Unknown Variant' is a raw, unflinching tale of courage and redemption in a broken world where hope seems impossible. This gripping dystopian romance explores how love can flourish in the darkest circumstances and the extraordinary lengths people will go to for freedom and dignity. If you enjoyed 'The Handmaid's Tale,' 'Divergent,' and 'Red Rising,' you'll love 'Unknown Variant.'. Codice articolo 9781955937627
