Author Description

When geneticist Amina Kael uncovers a strange repeating code in the human genome, she thinks it's an academic curiosity. But her request for deeper access is denied without explanation, her research stonewalled, and colleagues urge her to drop it. The more she digs, the more disturbing patterns she sees-not just in her data, but in the world around her. Motivation collapsing. Innovation stalling. An epidemic of empty distractions. Amina must decide whether to surrender and disappear or fight a system that has weaponized human nature itself. Chasing Ashes is a haunting blend of science-fiction thriller and intimate human drama-a story about motherhood, secrets written in our DNA, and what it means to cling to hope while the fire of intelligence burns itself out.
