LUNAR FEVER: The Anatomy of Hunger

In the heart of the 1880s German borderlands, the industrial age of steam and progress vanishes into the frozen shadows of the Griswold Pass. Here, a primitive fear has taken hold, and a mysterious "fever" is claiming more than just lives, it is consuming humanity itself.

Mina Thorne is a child of these jagged heights, a guide who knows the mountains better than any living soul. But as a blizzard screams through the pines, Mina realizes she is changing. Her vision is sharpening into an unnatural violet clarity, and she can feel the rhythmic pulse of life in everything around her, a sensation that triggers a terrifying, predatory hunger she cannot explain.

When she is hired to lead the clinical and cold-eyed Doctor Vane to the quarantined Saint Jude Sanitarium, she realizes she is walking into a slaughterhouse. Vane isn't interested in a cure; he’s come to witness the moment the fever wins. As they ascend through the white fury of the Black Forest, Mina must navigate a landscape of shifting heat and ancient shadows, all while wondering if the man she’s guiding is her only hope for salvation—or the first victim of the hunger growing inside her.

In a place where nothing comes out alive, the real danger isn't just the storm or the sanitarium. It's the anatomy of the fever itself.
