Chrysalis

The story centers on Vesper Somne, a 29-year-old bio-engineer betrayed by the long-lost sister she welcomed home — stripped of her work, her name, and the only man she ever loved, and left with no choice but to seal herself inside the cryogenic camera she built and sleep for thirty years to save the family that abandoned her. But the sabotage meant to kill her wakes something instead: NYX, a luminous symbiote that fuses to her skin and answers her heartbeat with a will of its own — sensual, possessive, impossible to resist. When she opens her eyes three decades later, the man over the glass isn’t her lost love — it’s Cassian Vane, a stranger who wears his face and carries his blood, and cannot let her go.
