In a dystopian world where women are scarce and power is absolute, 13-year-old Talia Reyes dreams of escaping the oppressive grip of The Dominion-a ruthless regime that abducts women and girls like prized possessions. With a deadly virus rendering most females infertile or dead, The Dominion, heirs to the old government, claim dominance over the few who remain. Talia hopes to be spared-until a brutal raid takes someone she loves.
Determined to fight back, Talia poses as an 18-year-old to join the Free Blades, a rogue band of mercenaries. Under the harsh mentorship of Dmitri "Blastnik" Volkov, a scarred and mysterious war veteran, she hones her combat skills. But as their bond grows, so do the lines between mentor and something more-forcing Talia to grapple with her own vulnerability.
When The Dominion strikes again, Talia is thrust into a perilous rescue mission where courage, sacrifice, and self-discovery collide. In this high-stakes battle for freedom, she must confront her deepest fears-and decide if she has the strength to become a hero, or if the weight of loss will break her.
Can Talia rise from the ashes of her shattered world, or will The Dominion crush her spirit?
[Very „The Handmaid's Tale inspired", but more post-apocalyptic]

Death Stranding: Lone Survivor
The battle at the Commonwealth was supposed to be their final stand. The group fought with everything they had to survive-but in the chaos of the fight, 11 witnessed 17's death at the hands of 3. Or so he thought. In the confusion, 17's body was lost, and the group moved on, believing that the last trace of their new companion had been extinguished. But 17 didn't die that day. Left behind, barely clinging to life, 17 was forced to navigate a world that seemed to turn its back on him. The once-promising new chapter of survival quickly turned into a brutal test of his will to live. With no allies and nothing but his instincts, 17 starts a solitary journey that leads him down a darker path. The world he knew is changing. New dangers are emerging, and the dead have evolved. As 17 crosses the remnants of old cities, abandoned roads, and decaying towns, he uncovers hints of an even greater threat looming on the horizon-something far worse than the creatures that haunt every step. He is forced to rely on his resourcefulness and determination to survive, but survival alone isn't enough. In a land where trust is a rare commodity, 17 meets new people along the way. Some are friends; some are foes. All have their own secrets. And as the truth of what happened to him during those lost days at the Commonwealth comes to light, 17 must make a choice: continue fighting alone, or join forces with others to face the new horrors that threaten to destroy what's left of the world. In this spinoff of Death Stranding, Lone Survivor takes you deeper into a post-apocalyptic world where survival is more than just living-it's about finding meaning in a life when everything else has crumbled. 17's journey will test his courage, his humanity, and his desire for vengeance. But no matter what, he must face the truth: in a world where everything is lost, there may be nothing left but the dead.Complete
