FIELD OF DEATH

Long ago, a virtuous woman named Martha was forced by her own father into marriage with a cruel and wicked family. Though her father knew the kind of torment they would inflict-beatings, violations, and dehumanization-he chose silence.

When Martha was at the edge of death, barely clinging to life, they cast her out to a remote land to die alone. But before her final breath, she cursed the soil beneath her bloodied body:

> "Let this land flourish, but let its blessings be poison to the wicked. Any soul who carries evil yet thrives from this land shall perish. Let this land protect only the pure."

The land she cursed became the richest and most fertile on Earth. As if it absorbed all the world's blessings, its crops flourished, its people prospered, and its wealth became unmatched.

Then came the plague.

Now, generations later, humanity is on the brink of extinction-dying from a strange, unexplainable disease that no science or medicine can cure. Entire cities have fallen.

Only a few remain.

Among them is Winter-a quiet, haunted girl who unknowingly carries the spirit of Martha's unborn child.

Winter doesn't just survive the plague-she is the one destined to uncover its origin. And what she finds will shatter everything the world believes about life, legacy, and the true cost of betrayal.
