The day the world ended was the day Ethan got a power and a weapon. The dumbest pair imaginable: Soil Sense and a garden hoe. Ninety-nine percent of humanity is gone, a glitching alien AI rewrites the rules, and monsters prowl unchecked. But Ethan can grow. Killing monsters grants short-lived boosts in power, but farming gives him deep-rooted and long-lasting experience with the potential to make him truly mighty. A broken past and a wounded world haunt him as Ethan struggles to reckon with the new reality. Forming an unlikely team composed of a crotchety old farmer, a loyal dog, and a robot spider, he takes on the adventure of a lifetime: survival. Plant. Protect. Grow. If he can grow something strong enough to bind the ruined land, the harvest might just save the world. Cover art by Duy Phan
