Decades after a global cataclysm reduced the world to dust and silence, scattered survivors cling to existence in isolated enclaves. In the Wastes beyond, silence is deadly—but some still hear echoes. Seventeen-year-old Wren, a scavenger haunted by the memory of her brother’s disappearance, discovers a radio signal no one believes is real—broadcasting from beyond the dead zones. Against all warnings, she sets out to trace it… and what she finds may rewrite everything humanity believes about the end—and what comes next.

Ash fell in slow, deliberate spirals, coating the ruins of the old world in a soft, gray hush.
Wren pulled her scarf tighter over her mouth, breathing through the filtered cloth as she
moved across the cracked highway. Her boots crunched softly over the powder, each
step erasing the last. The silence was oppressive—too deep, too complete.
She paused by the skeletal frame of a car half-swallowed by the dirt, eyes scanning the
horizon. The signal had come again last night—a faint, broken voice crackling through
her salvaged radio.
“...station seventy-one… coordinates… safe…”
