The Lion and the Wolf: The Real Replacement Theory

A machine of extermination disguised as utopia.

"The Towers will expect them to pretend she never existed – in the way they expect everyone to pretend their own bodies don't really exist. "

The Lion and the Wolf is a literary dystopian novel set in a brutally corrupt late-21st-century world. By 2085, humanity isn't just being modified—it's being erased. Edited bodies, overwritten memories, quiet disappearances—all in the name of safety, order, and perfection.

But what the Towers really want is control.

From the lowest capital: a genetically perfected, White rebel begins to push back.
From the highest capital: a privileged Black scientist starts to question the utopia she helped sustain.
Their lives collide—and the truth is uglier than either imagined.

In a society that rewrites flesh, silence won't save you—only extinction will satisfy the system.

Raw, lyrical, and unflinching, The Lion and the Wolf is about futures we're already building, and the people refusing to be engineered out of them. For readers of The Road, Never Let Me Go, 1984, and Squid Game, this is speculative fiction that cuts deep.
