About This Book

A colonized world endures a sudden, high-tech assault that obliterates its city and scatters survivors. One woman loses her husband in the attack and flees into unfamiliar forests, hiding in burial caches and then navigating treacherous hills and patrols as she confronts grief and exhaustion. The narrative alternates intimate survival episodes with broader wartime movements and technological detail, moving through distinct acts and shifting perspectives. Recurring concerns include the emotional cost of loss, the struggle to persist amid mechanized violence, and the tension between human memory and tactical orders as characters adapt to hostile landscapes and fractured communities.
