After a nuclear war devastates Earth, Lilith Iyapo wakes aboard an alien spaceship centuries later. The Oankali, a mysterious alien race, saved humanity’s remnants, curing diseases and healing the planet. But their help comes at a cost—they demand genetic merging with humanity, reshaping both species forever.
Chosen to lead the survivors back to a restored Earth, Lilith must grapple with the Oankali’s intentions and her role in humanity’s uncertain future. Trust fractures as she struggles to unite her people, many unwilling to accept the Oankali’s price.
As tensions rise, Lilith faces impossible choices that could determine the survival of humanity—or its ultimate transformation.
Is a healed Earth worth the cost of humanity’s identity?
