The entire human race has been wiped out, leaving only a few hundred survivors. In their newly built city, it isn’t long before the struggle for power threatens to tear their society apart. Ruby is caught in the crossfire and forced to bear a child to help repopulate the dwindling population. She can no longer stomach the twisted forces controlling her life. In a desperate bid for freedom, she flees—believing that facing the emptiness of the world alone is better than living in the shadow of those who would use her and her child for their own gain. But once she’s gone, the reality of her loss hits harder than she ever expected. Ruby soon realizes that the child she left behind is the one thing she cannot live without. With the help of an ally, Parker—who’s battling his own painful past—Ruby sets off on a dangerous journey to reclaim what she lost. As they venture deeper into the broken world, they uncover more than just the path to her child. The decisions they make could spark hope for the survivors or doom them all forever. How far will they go to save the future, and what will they sacrifice to do it?
