Leech by Hiron Ennes

WHAT IS THE CURE FOR THE HUMAN CONDITION?

In an isolated chateau, as far north as north goes, the baron's doctor has died. The Interprovincial Medical Institute sends a replacement to investigate, who discovers the good doctor was hosting a parasite. Yet this shouldn't have been possible, as the physician was already possessed - by the Institute.

The Institute is here to help humanity, to cut and cure, to protect the species from the horrors their ancestors unleashed. For hundreds of years, it has taken root in young minds and shaped them into doctors, replacing every human practitioner of medicine. Now there's competition. For in the baron's icebound castle, already a pit of secrets and lies, the parasite is spreading. These two enemies will make war within the battlefield of the body. Whichever wins, will humanity lose again?
