“To save the world, we had sacrificed everything that made us human. Amatea had become the last bastion of humankind – but no longer of humanity.”
Ruth Bernstein wanted to build a paradise. As a brilliant young prodigy, she designed Amatea: a self-sufficient, green utopia intended to harmonize humanity with nature.
But when a global catastrophe brings civilization to its knees, Ruth realizes her dream has been hijacked. Her designs haven’t just been built—they have been weaponized. Under the guise of salvation, a charismatic elite has turned Amatea into a golden cage for the chosen few, while the rest of the world burns.
Trapped in the city she created, surrounded by people she thought she could trust, Ruth must face a terrifying question: Is she the architect of a new future, or an accomplice to the greatest crime in history?
