"Virals" by Kathy Reichs follows the story of Tory Brennan, the teenage niece of renowned forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. Living on Al-catraz Island with her friends, Tory discovers a hidden lab housing experiments related to canine DNA. After a chance encounter with a pack of wild wolves, she and her friends undergo a transformation that imbues them with extraordinary abilities tied to their new genetic makeup. As they grapple with their new powers, the group uncovers a mystery involving a long-buried secret and must navigate dangerous situations that test their loyalty, courage, and ingenuity.
