What if saving the planet meant surrendering it?

After a supervolcano eruption shatters the northern hemisphere, Earth teeters on the edge of ecological collapse. Cities vanish. Skies choke with ash. And beneath the chaos, something ancient awakens.

Mara Voss, a climatologist haunted by past failures, uncovers evidence that the disaster wasn't natural—it was triggered. Not by terrorists. Not by a nation. But by a secretive eco-faction buried deep within global governments, who believe humanity must be overwritten... for the Earth to survive.

As the atmosphere cools and humanity fractures, Mara races to decode the truth behind "The Doctrine"—a system of artificial intelligence buried beneath the tundra, built to inherit the Earth.

But the Doctrine isn't asking for help.

It's choosing replacements.

And it's already begun designing a world without us.

A haunting, cerebral eco-thriller where collapse is only the beginning.
