In the shadow of a world that no longer resembles the one she knew, twenty-year-old Alice struggles to survive amid the ruins of a society shattered by fire and disease. Once an ordinary girl with quiet dreams, she now wanders through ghost towns and broken cities, scavenging for food and hope in equal measure. The landscape is a graveyard of memories. Every day for Alice is a test of instinct and will. But within her burns a fierce determination-she will not become another forgotten name etched into the dust.
When Alice stumbles upon a secret that could change everything-a message hinting at a refuge where survivors are gathering-she is thrust into a perilous journey across treacherous wastelands. With only her wits, unrelenting tenacity, and the fragile trust of a stranger, she must navigate hostile gangs, unpredictable storms, and her own past. As she ventures deeper into the unknown, Alice begins to realize that survival is not just about enduring the present, but about finding a reason to fight for the future. In a world stripped of light, she must decide what kind of person she will become-prey to the darkness, or the spark that dares to defy it.
