Overview

In every carbon cycle, death is the engine of life. It is the year 2550. After four centuries of climate collapse, the fate of Europe's last forest rests on a fractured continent. In the segregated north, the Cooperatives control all natural resources, claiming to restore Earth's ecosystem. Their founders, former data moguls, believe only in their own survival. In the scorching south, the Dust Road-an underground trade route-is ruled by Dust Pirates. Some fear them, others believe they are Earth's last hope. Nova Novikov arrives on the Iberian coast to witness an annual human sacrifice and bring her daughter's ashes to the ancient wooden shrine. But when a young girl is chosen for the ritual, Nova takes a decision that will ripple across centuries. That young girl is Shia Santos, the founder of the Museum of Life, the first preserved human consciousness, and the maker of a new civilization. Told as a mosaic of memories, There Is Hope is a luminous novel about ecological reckoning, sacrifice, and the fragile persistence of hope at the end of the world.

""A beautiful, but painful story... an eye-opening story of what our future could look like.""-Tasha Schiedel, NetGalley ""The world is immersive and well thought-out. The book's overall structure is laid out as a series of interconnected memory logs from several key players in the story. This layout provided variety to the storytelling and also introduced the reader to different regions, cultures, and perspectives.""-Faith Streeter, NetGalley ""A book that keeps me thinking about it for a long time.""-Candice Hiles, NetGalley
