One girl. A world without women. A fight for survival.

The year is 2036.

Six years ago, the Blast changed everything. The XX-1 virus swept across the globe, leaving only men behind.

But one girl survived.
Eve doesn’t know how. She doesn’t know why. All she knows is that she’s alive, and she might be the last one.

Humanity is fractured, controlled by the Army of XY, and survival means obedience-or silence.

But Eve has never been obedient.
And she cannot stay silent.

Hidden in plain sight, she carries a secret powerful enough to change the future. In a world where every step is tracked, every breath monitored, and every truth weaponized, Eve must fight harder than anyone to stay alive. The Resistance whispers of freedom, but hope comes with a price. Every betrayal cuts deeper, every lie carries a risk, and every shadow reminds Eve that survival is more than fighting enemies. It is holding on to the people who matter most, even when it costs everything.
