Prologue

The world had ended, or so they said. The cataclysmic event that wiped out most of humanity left behind only a handful of survivors. Those who remained struggled to survive in a world that was no longer fit for human habitation.

But out of the ashes rose a new hope, a shining beacon of civilization that promised a brighter future for all. The Last City, they called it, a towering metropolis that stood as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity.

At first, the Last City was a marvel of engineering, a triumph of human achievement that defied the odds. But as the years passed, cracks began to appear in the city's shiny facade. The government once hailed as the savior of humanity, became more and more oppressive, tightening its grip on every aspect of life.

The people of the Last City lived in fear, afraid to speak out against their rulers, afraid to challenge the status quo. But there were some who refused to be silenced, who refused to accept the government's lies and deception. They were the rebels, the outcasts, the ones who dared to dream of a better future.

And at the heart of this struggle stood a young girl named Mia. She was just seventeen, but she had already seen more than her fair share of suffering. Her parents were taken away by the government, their fate unknown. Mia knew she had to act, had to fight back against the tyranny that threatened to engulf them all.

So, she joined the rebels, a ragtag group of misfits who were determined to bring down the government and expose its secrets. Together, they would face unimaginable danger, betrayal, and heartbreak. But they would also discover something that had been lost in the Last City for a long time - hope.

For in the Last City, where darkness had once reigned supreme, a light had been kindled. And Mia and the rebels would do everything in their power to keep that flame burning, to ensure that the Last City would not be the end of humanity, but the beginning of something new.
