説明
Amidst the chaos of a crumbling world, a mother embarks on a harrowing journey to rescue her daughter from the clutches of danger. In a land plagued by catastrophic seismic upheaval, people struggle to survive in an unforgiving environment. The inhabitants of this world possess unique abilities, but wielding such power comes at a perilous cost. For some, understanding and embracing these gifts could mean the difference between survival and annihilation.
The story unveils the struggles of individuals within a rigidly stratified society where those with seismic powers, known as orogenes, are feared and subjugated. As the protagonist grapples with the weight of her secret abilities, she faces not only the challenge of her own survival but also the harsh realities of a society that seeks to control her kind. Her quest for her daughter exposes the depths of betrayal, the fragility of trust, and the complexities inherent in motherhood.
In a narrative that deftly intertwines themes of oppression, resilience, and the search for identity, the journey unfolds against a backdrop of rich world-building and intricate lore. The merging of personal and political conflicts highlights the importance of connection in a fractured world, making for an unforgettable tale of love, loss, and awakening to one’s true potential.
