Girl Zero

Intro Storyline: On the cold streets of a sprawling city, 17-year-old Lira survives by her wits, invisible to the world. One night, she accepts food from a stranger—only to wake up in a sterile underground lab, strapped to a table. A brilliant but unhinged scientist, Dr. Ryzek, has been abducting society’s forgotten to conduct illegal experiments. His goal? To create the next step in human evolution: beings fused with animal DNA and machine code. Lira becomes his “perfect subject.” Injected with nanotech and spliced with feline and raven DNA, she gains heightened agility, speed, night vision, and razor-sharp instincts. But she’s also haunted by fragmented memories and violent urges she doesn’t understand. She escapes the lab after a catastrophic fire, presumed dead by the scientist. Now on the run, Lira must stay hidden in a city that still doesn't see her—while using her new powers to hunt for others like her, stop Ryzek, and uncover the truth behind what he turned her into.
