Seven women struggle to survive in the ruins of a fortress. Hunger, thirst, and fear drive them into violence, hatred, and distrust. In a world without plants or animals, the last survivors have become the only source of food-humans hunting humans. Therese, Hope, Carmen, and the others are not heroines but companions of a merciless fate. Between brutality and despair unfolds a story that makes no compromises. When the young man Andreas falls into their hands, Therese delays his death-a decision that changes everything. Their escape from the fortress takes them through a devastated landscape of hunger, madness, and violence. But the true horror awaits in the ruins of a fallen metropolis. In the end, the novel opens an unexpected perspective: an alien vessel emerges from non-space into Earth’s orbit-a visionary glimpse into a future beyond humanity’s collapse. A ruthless, haunting post-apocalyptic novel about hunger, violence, and the breakdown of civilization.
