The world ended while she slept. Now, survival is the only rule.
A deadly fever wiped out most of humanity, leaving a shattered world where women are nearly extinct—and those who survive are hunted. The unnamed midwife wakes to this grim new reality and knows one thing: she must stay hidden.
Disguising herself as a man, she travels alone, avoiding the roaming gangs who seek to claim and control the last women left. But as she moves through the ruins of civilization, she finds herself pulled toward something greater than mere survival. She has the knowledge to save lives, the power to shape the future.
If humanity is to begin again, someone must guide it. And in this brutal new world, she may be the only one who can.
A haunting, award-winning dystopian masterpiece.
