About this item
The Ancients is a richly imagined novel set in a dystopian future, exploring themes of hope, love, and adventure in a world shaped by the mistakes of our ancestors. Acclaimed author [Author Name], known for Whiskey When We’re Dry, weaves a compelling narrative as three distinct journeys converge in a struggle for humanity's survival.
In an abandoned fishing village, a young boy and his older sisters find themselves orphaned and alone, their food supplies dwindling. Driven by desperation, they embark on a treacherous journey across breathtaking yet perilous wilderness in search of the last remnants of their people.
Meanwhile, down the coast, their mother, captured by raiders, is taken to the last port city of a waning empire. Determined to reunite with her children, she plots her escape, even as her fellow captives scheme for open revolt against their captors.
In the crumbling heart of the city, a young scholar inherits his father's business and privileged position, alongside the burden of immense debts. As the empire’s elite prepare to flee to a promised utopia across the sea, he must grapple with where his true loyalty lies.
With a rapidly changing climate threatening to reshape their world, these three characters must navigate their fates in a narrative that captures the resilience of the human spirit. The Ancients presents a post-apocalyptic vision of hope and stewardship, inviting readers to reflect on the lessons of the past while forging a path toward a more hopeful future.
