Two decades after a catastrophic war against bio-engineered horrors, a fragile peace in a secluded valley begins to fracture. Hannah, the daughter of a disgraced scientist, and Nefertiti, a clever feline descendant of legends, find themselves at the center of an encroaching darkness. As ancient maps are unearthed and a rhythmic vibration pulses from deep underground, the duo realizes that the 'Machine'—a rogue super-purification device—is reawakening. While a complacent generation of animals remains blind to the danger, Nefertiti and Hannah must confront a legacy of biological nightmares and subterranean secrets. This gripping tale blends scientific hubris with animal folklore, exploring whether the sins of the past can ever truly be buried. Comparable works include The Secret of NIMH
