Description
In a world teetering on the brink of ecological collapse, a charismatic leader foretells a devastating flood that will reshape humanity's future. As the predicted cataclysm unfolds, two women find themselves in vastly different, precarious situations, struggling to survive amidst the ruins of civilization. Their paths, along with those of other survivors—eco-warriors, former lovers, and dangerous adversaries—intersect in a landscape now populated by bizarre, gene-spliced creatures. This novel masterfully explores themes of faith, environmentalism, and the resilience of the human spirit against a backdrop of both profound loss and unsettling, darkly humorous invention.
