Never Ashes, Always Fire

Both Abigail and her dog, Dawkins, are going to die. After a long life devoted to science and a shorter, happy life as a beloved companion, they are both nearing their natural end in Abigail's cosy home in the Oslo neighbourhood of Sagene.

Nineteen-year-old Oda's approaching death is a far greater tragedy. A university student in Oslo, she is terminally ill. Her father tries to make the most of the time they have left together, while her mother begins to fall apart.

Everything changes when Dawkins receives an experimental injection secretly developed at the Weiss Institute in Oslo. The dog makes a full recovery. Suddenly, death is no longer inevitable, and the handful of people who know about the cure are drawn into an unpredictable, deadly, and increasingly ruthless struggle for power.
