Description

In a world ravaged by a deadly fever that wiped out most of the female population and made childbirth a death sentence, a lone midwife navigates the ruins of civilization. Through her journals and the fragmented accounts of other survivors, this post-apocalyptic tale chronicles the desperate struggle for survival and the rebuilding of a shattered society. It's a powerful exploration of resilience, community, and the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable loss, revealing how a new world was forged from the ashes of the old.
