Description
In the aftermath of a devastating fever that decimated the earth's population, a lone midwife must navigate a treacherous new world. When she fell asleep, the world was doomed; when she awoke, it was dead. With the pillars of civilization crumbling, power has become the only constant. The midwife must tread carefully, adopting a new identity and avoiding those who would seek to control her. As she navigates this perilous landscape, she begins to realize that her role may be greater than simply surviving. With humanity on the brink of rebirth, someone must guide its way. But in a world where strength and power are the only currencies that matter, can she find a way to preserve her freedom and forge a new path? In this gripping post-apocalyptic tale, a few women like her have managed to survive, but safety is a luxury few can afford. The midwife's journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a powerful exploration of what it means to be alive in a world that has been forever changed.
