When the Earth begins to fight back, survival becomes humanity's final instinct.
In Southampton, life collapses slowly at first. Fresh food turns poisonous. Water kills without warning. The air itself begins to change, thinning with every passing day and carrying something toxic in its place.
Sam, a hardened ex-SAS soldier struggling to survive civilian life, knows how to endure chaos. Josh, a failed dreamer still chasing purpose, knows only that he wants to do the right thing, even when the world no longer rewards it.
Thrown together during the violent collapse of society, the two men must navigate a city overrun by panic, ruthless survivors, and a natural world that has become terrifyingly hostile. Parks become death traps. Plants move in the dark. Strange flowers hunt from the shadows. And somewhere beneath the destruction lies a secret far worse than either of them imagined.
As Sam and Josh uncover signs that the apocalypse may not be entirely natural, their fight for survival becomes something bigger. Something hidden. Something designed.
The Withering has begun.
Gritty, tense, and darkly human, Green Requiem: The Withering is the first entry in a post-apocalyptic series about survival, sacrifice, friendship, and the terrible cost of mankind's arrogance.
