"You'd think human civilization would only progress and grow with time, but it seems that somehow we've just reached new troughs. We're back to rock bottom, and joining the resistance is the only way we can fix things."

Kristine is a young woman living in the 21st Century who, after traveling to London for a summer internship, finds herself lost in a small village full of strange people. Not long after, she is dragged into the next millennium only to find civilization has reversed itself. There she fights against a brutal regime as a member of the resistance, exploring love, friendship and trust. 

A dystopian fiction with a twist of fantasy, horror and sci-fi.
