In the dark future of our world, a small percentage of humanity has evolved with a physiological anomaly that provides them with wondrous abilities. Those gifted few are now targets of the unevolved, looking to steal that power.

"The Mantis Variant" follows Agrell, Dozi, and Ilya together in the rundown metropolis of Teshon City. The unlikely trio is set on a path of unexpected heroism through horrifying trials that lead them to sacrifice and redemption. Their group increases throughout the story, and for some, the harrowing events bring growth. However, bizarre eldritch rituals and arcane arts are commonplace in the world of "The Mantis Variant," and tragedy and death are always close at hand.

Industry Reviews

"The Mantis Variant is everything you love about dystopian settings with a twist on the classic superhero trope."

"This is found family at its finest."

"A brilliant contrast of security, care, and love within a brutal, cruel, and violent world"

"The Mantis Variant explores how a found family unites with allies to resist oppression and genocide in a brutally visceral post-apocalyptic setting."

"This book exquisitely juxtaposes disparate themes. It has body horror, positive representation, gore, multi-dimensional characters, grief and vivid world-building. All of these multifaceted pieces are spun together in such a profoundly impactful way."

"This book was beautiful and amazing. The main characters are all unique and great. I love their found family they created and their connection. It also broke my heart at times and made me cry."

"Adam has a unique style of storytelling, with a clear and compelling narrative. Adam's descriptive power brings the scenes alive."

"This book was amazing, It is the best book I have read in a while! Excitment right from the first page. A little sad at the end. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series."
