Survival is only the beginning—what comes after may redefine everything.

In E.J. Swift’s When There Are Wolves Again, two women look back on lives shaped by crisis, memory, and hope. Lucy, an activist shaped by the 2020 pandemic, works to restore Britain’s lost wildlife, while Hester, a filmmaker born on the day of the Chornobyl disaster, documents fragile ecosystems and unheard voices. Across decades of change, loss, and resilience, both hold onto the possibility of a wilder future.

In Lorraine Wilson’s The Salt Oracle, seventeen years after the internet’s collapse, Auli lives aboard a floating research institute studying a mysterious girl known as the Oracle, who channels dangerous ghosts. When a plan to replicate the Oracle’s power ends in murder, Auli is thrust into leadership as corruption surfaces and the world begins to shift. She must decide what matters most—the life of the Oracle, or the fragile future of everyone who depends on her.
