The Serenity Code

The Serenity Code

Dr. Anya Sharma dreamed of ending human suffering. Her breakthrough, the Serenity Code, genetically eliminates depression, anxiety, and trauma, birthing a generation of perfectly calm, content children. The world hails her as a savior as conflict and art vanish, replaced by global peace. But when Anya's own niece, a child of the Code, attempts suicide not from pain, but from profound emptiness, Anya's certainty shatters. Now, branded an enemy of the state by the ruthless prophet who has twisted her science into a fanatical religion, she must ally with the Flickering-a resistance of unmodified artists and rebels who cling to messy, dangerous emotions. To save humanity, Anya must destroy her life's work and unleash a wave of feeling that could heal the world-or shatter it completely.
