Jumpers

As a child, Jordan Kessler dreamed of soaring through the clouds, free from the weight of a fractured nation. Now, as a fighter pilot for the Northern Alliance, she's living that dream-until a reconnaissance mission sends her plummeting into a nightmare.

A strange affliction is spreading across the war-torn South, twisting men into ravenous, inhuman monsters. Tasked with leading a team studying the disease, Kessler finds herself reassigned from the skies to a floating fortress-a massive carrier ship where science and strategy collide. She is soon entangled with Captain Grant Ward, a hardened leader willing to do anything to save his men.

But as Kessler unearths the horrifying truth behind the outbreak, the lines between patriotism and morality blur. Torn between her duty, her growing attraction to the ruthless captain, and the monstrous secret festering in the heart of the war, she must decide: will she be the soldier she trained to be, or the hero the world needs?

A pulse-pounding fusion of dystopian warfare, folk horror, and forbidden desire, Jumpers is a tale of love and loyalty in a world where monsters are made-not born.
