In a nation shattered by invasion and nuclear devastation, civilization is no longer held together by law-but by fear. As cities burn and authoritarian control tightens its grip, one family is forced onto the open road, embarking on a perilous journey through a fractured landscape where every step could be their last. The Withering Road is a gripping tale of survival, loyalty, and quiet resistance. Amid the ashes of fallen cities and the silence of abandoned highways, danger comes not only from the ruins of the old world, but from the people desperate enough to rule what remains. Trust is scarce. Hope is costly. And love may be the most dangerous thing of all. Haunting, emotional, and relentlessly tense, The Withering Road asks a single, devastating question: how far will you go to protect the people you love?
