Adam Eberhardt always felt different, but he never imagined he was a genetically enhanced clone of Albert Einstein. Science geeks don't usually live in the body of a hulking athlete, nor do they suffer from crippling insomnia and anxiety caused by an overactive brain. The only thing that quiets his mind is Margot-a brilliant fellow student who remains oblivious to his feelings.
Then, nuclear scientists start vanishing, including Margot. In the chaos, Adam is taken to a top-secret training facility, where he meets six others with the same strange gray marking on their wrists. The truth is even more shocking: they are all clones of historical legends-engineered to be stronger, smarter, and faster than their originals. For decades, scientist Emmanuel Kebe has guided their lives from the shadows, preparing them for the global catastrophe now unfolding. But these seven weren't given a choice. Now, they must decide: embrace the fate they were created for-or fight to forge their own identity.Sacred Blood is the first installment in The Phoenix Elite, an ambitious science fiction saga blending superhuman abilities, conspiracies, faith, and questions of identity in a race to prevent global catastrophe.
Perfect for fans of Red Rising, Project Hail Mary, and Michael Crichton-style technothrillers.
