daughter of the wasteland
Five years after a devastating nuclear disaster, the world Yulia once knew has been buried beneath layers of frost and silence. In the frozen wasteland of Siberia, she and her mother, Darina, struggle to survive on dwindling supplies, scavenged roots, and the fragile hope that they're not truly alone.
Darina hunts in the bitter cold, haunted by the memory of her husband, who never returned from his last trip into the wilderness. Yulia clings to the static-filled radio, desperate to hear a human voice that isn't her mother's. When a faint signal flickers through the silence, it sets Yulia on edge and ignites Darina's fear.
But hope is dangerous in a world where survival demands caution. Are the voices they hear a promise of salvation-or a new threat hiding in the snow? As the two face the unrelenting cold and the harsh reality of their isolation, they must decide how far they're willing to go to uncover the truth-and whether trust has a place in a world that has already taken so much from them.
In this gripping tale of survival, Frost and Ashes explores the fragile line between hope and despair, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter fighting to stay alive in the frozen ruins of a broken world.
