During a press conference, the Minister of Economy and the Environment, Richard Bauer, collapses in front of the cameras. For Helen Schilling—elite BKA agent and his personal bodyguard—there’s no doubt: it’s an attack. What begins as a routine investigation quickly turns into a race against time to unravel a conspiracy that threatens to redraw the limits of science—and of humanity.

Caught between political forces, corporate interests, and secrets that should never see the light of day, Helen steps into a conflict where genetic manipulation is both promise and curse. And while the world watches, she fights a silent, deeply personal battle: like her younger sister, Helen carries an incurable hereditary disease. When the possibility of having a child free from that sentence appears, everything changes. A clandestine offer, a brilliant and dangerous doctor, and a choice that puts everything on the line. As chaos erupts, Helen must decide how far she’s willing to go—for the truth, for her family, and for the future.
