When the oceans rose and the world drowned in its own mistakes, Verdancia became the last stronghold of human civilization - a city wrapped in green walls and guarded ideals. It was meant to be humanity's redemption. But over time, the garden began to rot.
Inside Verdancia, life is orderly but hollow. Survival depends on obedience, and freedom has become a distant memory. Outside the walls, across the flooded continents, those who were left behind fight to survive among the ruins, dreaming of the world they lost.
Eli was once one of Verdancia's loyal builders, a man who believed the city could restore the Earth's balance. But after years of seeing the cost - the hunger, the exile, and the quiet erasure of those deemed unworthy - his faith begins to unravel. His partner, Arielle, carries the next generation inside her, and with that life comes a growing doubt: can a child be born free in a world built on control?
Their love becomes an act of rebellion, a bridge between two collapsing worlds. When a desperate group from the outside breaches Verdancia's borders, the illusion of peace shatters. The uprising exposes the city's buried secrets - experiments, betrayals, and a truth too dangerous to contain.
Amid the chaos, a new vision emerges. Eli and Arielle must decide whether to save Verdancia from itself or abandon it entirely and seek something untouched - a place whispered about by the desperate and the faithful alike: The Greenland.
Their journey takes them beyond the shattered coasts of the Americas, through the dangerous waters of the new world, and toward the legendary highlands of Ethiopia - a land said to stand above the flood, where hope might still live. On this voyage, they're joined by refugees, rebels, and dreamers: a disillusioned leader haunted by past sins, a family of Ethiopian survivors searching for their homeland, and a child whose visions might hold the key to renewal.
But salvation has its price. Each crossing brings loss, revelation, and a deeper reckoning with what it means to be human when the old world's rules no longer apply.
The Greenland is a sweeping tale of love, faith, and endurance in a time when humanity teeters between extinction and rebirth. It's a story of migration and belonging, of those who dared to believe that even after the world burns and the seas rise, something living - something good - can still grow.
Visionary, poetic, and deeply emotional, The Greenland explores what happens when civilization collapses not from an explosion, but from a slow forgetting of what makes us whole. It's a journey through despair toward renewal - a reflection of our times and a promise of what might still be possible.
For readers of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower, Cormac McCarthy's The Road, and Margaret Atwood's The Year of the Flood, this novel offers a haunting yet hopeful vision of the future.
In The Greenland, Myster H.G. delivers a cinematic world filled with haunting beauty and humanity's quiet persistence - a reminder that even after everything is lost, the seed of hope will always find its soil.
