Everyone follows the program. No one questions the program. But Kessa is about to change that.
When a global biological shift leads to a new world order where women rule and men are disposable, Kessa Strauss is pulled into Denton University—an elite, militarized institution that weaponizes young women through arena combat—and she quickly learns that failure doesn’t mean death. It means erasure.
As the system tightens around her, a forbidden love beyond the institution becomes her only anchor—and her greatest vulnerability.
Rising through competition, betrayal, and loss, Kessa begins to understand that every victory offers her more control—and pulls her closer to becoming what once terrified her.
This is not a story about winning, seizing control, or overthrowing a regime. The Gender Virus is an adult dystopian novel about power, and the cost of enduring a system designed to consume and control you—without losing yourself.
