WHAT IS APIS?

Natharine Liquor’s life ends the night her fated mate rejects her before the entire werewolf pack. Instead of dying, she awakens something ancient. Reality begins to bend. Monsters emerge from forgotten corners of the world. Secret organizations wage wars hidden beneath ordinary life, harvesting dreams, rewriting memories, and treating people as little more than fuel. When Natharine’s identity is stripped away and she awakens as Katherine Ichor, she’s forced to question everything she remembers. Every answer only leads to another impossible truth, and every truth drags her deeper into a conspiracy older than civilization itself. Along the way, she finds unlikely allies: a cheerful white-haired girl whose smile hides unimaginable power, a brother who walks between dimensions, forgotten experiments that refuse to die, and beings capable of persuading reality itself. To survive, Katherine must uncover who she truly is before those hunting her erase her existence entirely. Because in a world where memories can be fabricated, dreams can be harvested, and even reality can lie... The most dangerous thing to become is yourself. — Content Warnings: Graphic violence, body horror, psychological trauma, gaslighting, parental abuse, medical trauma, involuntary psychiatric confinement, conservatorship abuse, suicidal ideation, and attempted filicide.
