The Viridan Descent

Before the first human drew breath, the ruin was already coming.

Four billion years ago, on a world of vivid green at the edge of a dying star system, an unstoppable organism consumed an entire planet — then sent its seeds into the void. Patient. Silent. Indestructible.

In 2084, an asteroid is detected on a collision course with Earth. The world has three years to prepare.

It is not enough time.

When 2084 KX7 strikes, it doesn't just level a continent. It delivers a passenger — a viral, plant-like plague of alien origin unlike anything biology has ever classified. Within days of impact, the Viridan begins to spread. It doesn't burn. It doesn't poison. It converts — rewriting organic matter at the molecular level, turning everything it touches into more of itself.

Forests. Animals. People.

Dr. Mara Chen was the first human to see it coming. Now she may be the last person who understands what it truly is — and what the only hope of stopping it requires.

The Viridan Descent is a sweeping, terrifying epic that begins at the birth of the solar system and ends at the death of everything we know. A story of cosmic indifference, human courage, and the oldest question science has ever asked: what happens when life itself becomes the enemy?
