Axiom of the Seraphim

Ksenia Rostova was once a rising star at the biotech conglomerate Omnivita, until a public humiliation shattered her career. Now, she lives a quiet life, dedicated to raising her brilliant son, Lev, the result of an anonymous surrogacy she undertook for money years ago. Her carefully constructed peace is broken when Lev wanders off at a tech expo and is found by Damir Volkov, the cold, calculating CEO of Omnivita's chief rival, Aethelburg. The uncanny resemblance is undeniable: Damir is Lev's father. But their reunion is no happy accident. Damir reveals that their son is a 'Seraphim', a genetically-engineered child created for 'The Axiom Contest' - a brutal, clandestine competition between corporate dynasties where the winning family gains control of a revolutionary technology. Forced into a tense co-parenting alliance with the man she was taught to despise, Ksenia must navigate a world of corporate espionage and veiled threats to protect her son. But as the lines between ally and enemy blur, Ksenia starts to question the very rules of the contest - was winning ever the true goal?
