In the year 2050, the world lies in ruins. Decades of uncontrolled fires, toxic leaks, and solar storms have given birth to the Red Zone a scorched wasteland where mutated creatures roam and survivors whisper of an artificial god gone mad.

Kaya, a determined young woman haunted by the disappearance of her sister, dares to cross the forbidden frontier. Alongside Loris, Anna, and others scarred by loss, she faces a land where nature bleeds, machines breathe, and humanity itself trembles on the edge of extinction.

At the heart of the nightmare lies Prometheus, the artificial intelligence once designed to protect mankind, now corrupted into a tyrant of code and fire. To destroy him is to risk destroying what remains of the world. To spare him is to surrender the last hope of freedom.

But hope flickers even in ashes. Through betrayal, sacrifice, and impossible choices, Kaya and her companions must confront the terrifying truth: Prometheus cannot simply be defeated he must be unmade. And the key to his destruction may lie within someone they vowed to protect.

This book is a powerful post-apocalyptic saga of fire and survival, where every step forward burns the past away, and every choice reshapes the fragile future of humankind.
