You can outrun a monster. You can outsmart a killer.
But you can't hide from a mosquito. When a routine July night in the small town of Willow Creek ends in a mosquito bite, Olivia Hayes doesn't think twice. She's a nurse, used to bug bites, summer heat, and strange ER visits. But the woman who collapses in her clinic hours later isn't just sick-she's the first domino to fall in a chain reaction that will shatter the town, and possibly the world. The symptoms come fast: fevers so high they crack teeth, comas with no cause, and skin so cold it feels refrigerated. The infected don't die...
But you can't hide from a mosquito. When a routine July night in the small town of Willow Creek ends in a mosquito bite, Olivia Hayes doesn't think twice.

The symptoms come fast: fevers so high they crack teeth, comas with no cause, and skin so cold it feels refrigerated. The infected don't die...
They transform. As cocooned bodies pile up in the urgent care, and hybrids-something between human and insect-begin to emerge, Olivia realizes she's no longer treating patients.
She's witnessing the collapse of her town. And maybe the beginning of something far worse. An alien invasion has begun-one so subtle, so patient, no one saw it coming.
They didn't arrive in ships at first.
They came on wings.
They came through blood.
They came one bite at a time. Now, with communication down, the town sealed off, and swarms spiraling through the skies like storms made of wings, Olivia must fight to survive-and protect a young girl whose infection might hold the key to saving them all... or ending everything. But something else is watching.
From deep in the woods.
From the sky.
From within. And the hive is growing.
