The World Shattered. Hope Endures.
The year is 2033. A cataclysmic superstorm has reshaped the Northern Hemisphere, leaving nations broken and survivors scattered.
Civilizations fall. New powers rise.
In The White Rose, two young survivors fight for their future – and for the future of humanity.
Iggy, a teenager from a remote fishing village, sets out on a perilous journey toward the African Republic.
Hiromi, driven by loss and rage, navigates the brutal underworld of the United States of Eurasia.
Their struggles unfold across a broken world where survival demands courage, resilience, and sacrifice.
What You’ll Find in The White Rose:
Epic world-building – underwater cities, African pyramid states, sunken continents
Heart-pounding adventure – survival against impossible odds
Survivors shaped by catastrophe – courage, vengeance, and hope
A terrifyingly real future – climate disaster and human strength
Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Wool, and Station Eleven.
As Jill Murphy says:
“The worldbuilding in The White Rose is immense… beautifully realised, threading through and giving purpose and drive to the plot overlaying it. The scariest thing is that all seems so possible.”
