Struck by lightning one night, Oralia wakes to find herself changed and her perfect life coming to shambles, a mysterious darkness looming over London and invading people\u2019s minds, and the memories of her torturous past resurfacing. Worse, Oralia\u2019s own darkness turns her into a vigilante, forcing her to play the game of Judge, Jury and Executioner with the guilty. Oralia must choose between finding her own self or continue listening to her inner darkness. Nicely impressively integrates complex topics of DNA technology along with the science of viruses and vaccinations without slowing down the action or complicating narrative.
