Haunted by hundreds of deaths she can’t forget, a jaded woman cursed with involuntary regeneration is pulled back into a dystopian war when her trauma-soaked biology becomes the devastating weapon everyone fears.

SYNOPSIS:

Think Murderbot Diaries meets Upgrade, with the brutality of Logan and the existential weight of Children of Men.

Eris has died hundreds of times. Each regeneration heals her body but leaves the trauma intact. Once a weaponized superhero, now a burnout drifting through a decaying metropolis, she just wants to survive one miserable day at a time. But when her biotech-enhanced body is rediscovered by the very powers that broke her, Eris becomes the target of militarized corporations, rogue AI factions, and those who refuse to believe she’s done saving the world.

Gritty, darkly humorous, and emotionally raw, Death Engine Protocol is a grounded sci-fi noir about trauma, reluctant heroism, and the long, uneven road to healing. As Eris fights to keep others from becoming what she is, she must decide whether survival alone is enough—or if there’s still something worth dying for.
