Almost two decades after the events of Grendels, Michelle Shank and her teenage daughter Bina live life on the run, pursued by murderous zealots seeking to exterminate anyone associated with the groupmind, Homo iunctus, the emergent superintelligence Michelle’s brother Adam is a member of. Danae is a grendel, the escaped genetically engineered supersoldiers equally feared and persecuted. Bina and Danae share a desire to break free of the restrictions imposed on them by their family obligations and the prejudice and hatred of the outside world. Together, they set off on a journey, unwitting pawns in a larger conflict set in motion to force a final violent confrontation between their loved ones and those seeking to stop the transformation of human destiny.
Synderesis picks up many years after the events of Grendels, set in world recovering from nuclear conflict, ongoing instability, and recurring chaotic international strife.
The story begins here.
