Emerald Veins

Silas Vane was a man who conquered the world. When he dies, he leaves behind a fortune that could end poverty-and a secret that could change what it means to be human. But the inheritance does not go to the boardrooms of London or the high-rises of New York. It goes to a small, dusty village in Rwanda, to a fourteen-year-old boy named Kwizera.

Kwizera is a dreamer who spends his days fetching water and helping his mother. He has no idea that his blood holds the "Emerald Seed," the crowning achievement of a fifty-year experiment in immortality. As the news of the will breaks, the world erupts into a cinematic war. From the lush, glowing jungles of the Congo to the high-tech fortresses of the Mediterranean, Kwizera becomes the most hunted person on Earth.

He is pursued by Beatrice Vane, a daughter who feels cheated of her birthright, and the Obsidian Circle, a shadow group that wants to harvest the miracle for the elite. As the "Emerald" begins to wake up inside him, Kwizera discovers that the gift is also a horror. His veins glow with a terrifying light, and his body becomes a battlefield.

In this high-stakes tale of medical miracles and bio-horror, the rich don't just inherit money-they inherit the power to play God. Kwizera must choose between saving his own life and giving the world a chance to breathe. Will he be the final harvest of a dying king, or the spark of a new era for humanity?
