Project Genome, Book One
Roean Ashby was never supposed to exist.
Created in a government laboratory as part of a classified genetic weapons program, Roean is a second-generation hybrid engineered from human and apex predator DNA. She was cataloged, numbered, and studied-until one woman stole her from the system and raised her as a daughter instead of a weapon.
For eighteen years, Roean lived hidden. Normal. Human.
Then the program came for her.
When Roean's dormant abilities awaken, the illusion of safety shatters. Her adoptive mother is killed. Her identity is exposed. And the government reclassifies Roean not as a missing asset-but as a recovery priority.
Enter Captain Lucas Riley, a soldier ordered to hunt her down.
But Roean isn't the monster described in the file. She's a terrified young woman learning that everything about her body, her past, and her future was designed without her consent. When Luke defies orders to protect her, he becomes a target himself-dragging others into a rapidly escalating fight against a system that erases people as efficiently as it creates them.
As the net tightens, Roean discovers she isn't the only one who escaped.
Other hybrids exist. Some are hiding. Some are hunting. And some were raised to believe they were never meant to choose at all.
Born Classified is a high-intensity science-fiction thriller about survival, found family, and what happens when the weapon learns to say no.
The experiment has already begun.
The hunt has already failed.
And Roean Ashby is only the beginning.
