The Cherokee Promise

<p>In the desolate landscape of 2044 thirty years after nuclear devastation transformed Earth into a wasteland Jeremiah and his loyal dog Jack struggle for survival in a world where humanity has devolved to its basest instincts. </p><p>Forced to flee their shelter when threatened by desperate scavengers the pair journey through the ravaged countryside seeking a rumored haven among the mountains. What they discover is the American village—a small community of Cherokee-Creek nation descendants who have preserved not just their lives but their humanity and hope for a better future.</p><p>As Jeremiah finds acceptance purpose and even love in this newfound sanctuary the village faces an existential threat. A militaristic regime from what was once Baltimore led by the tyrannical Ostam sends army after army to plunder resources and enslave survivors. Driven by a moral imperative to protect not just themselves but all free people Jeremiah and his adopted community must confront the invaders in a battle for the soul of what remains of America.</p><p>Alternating between breathtaking moments of tenderness and brutal wartime reality 2044 presents an unflinching examination of humanity's capacity for both unspeakable cruelty and profound compassion.
