Sacrifice — Heath Stallcup

Pandemics, race wars and civil wars pushed mankind to the brink. Then Mother Nature did her best to finish off the plague of Man with an asteroid dubbed Wormwood. When all seemed lost, Man did the last thing expected...they set aside their differences and worked toward a solution. Not only did they survive, they helped to heal the planet and the differences that had once divided them.However, Wormwood brought with it something that nobody was prepared for. A tiny life form, a prion, began to infect people and twist their DNA until an entirely new species sprung to the forefront.Mankind fell from his throne as the new species, the Nocturna, prepared to take its place as the world's newest Apex Predator.Nobody expected what was happening.Nobody knew the truth behind what was happening, either.
