The reign of humanity is a fragile illusion. The real world belongs to those who hunt.

Dr. Elena Vance is a woman of clinical precision and cold ambition. Inside "Tartaros," a top-secret underground containment facility, she doesn't just study life?she cultivates evolution. But her subject, Veles, is not a mere specimen. He is an ancient predator, a biological masterpiece of tentacles and hunger that defies every law of nature.

When the sterile walls of the laboratory can no longer contain the darkness, the line between scientist and subject blurs. Elena finds herself no longer observing a monster, but becoming the mother of a new, terrifying dynasty.

As the city above remains oblivious to the shadows rising from the depths, seven creatures are growing with unnatural speed, fueled by a hunger that cannot be sated. The sirens in the distance are just the beginning.

The bombs have fallen, the world is in chaos, and the hunt is about to begin.

In this new era, mankind is no longer at the top of the food chain. We are simply the prey.
