The city she once called home is disappearing. One by one: neighbors, rights, memories. Everything familiar becomes something to run from.

Set in a collapsing society on the brink of chaos, this novel follows a woman trying to survive personal loss in the midst of political violence. With danger at her doorstep and no one left to trust, she must choose between memory and survival, grief and action.

A gripping, poetic portrait of a woman caught in the quiet terror of a nation unraveling. Brutal. Beautiful. Unforgettable.
