Earth is nothing but a field of ruins. 90% of the population has been exterminated by creatures that are half-machine, half-organic.

Iduna is one of the rare survivors. Her job? Venturing outside the fortified cities where everyone has taken refuge, searching for objects still in working condition. Every time she goes out, she must brave the aloteks, monsters born from the fusion of an artificial bacterium and machines.
During a raid that goes wrong, she meets Ilkal, also a scavenger. Another thing they have in common: they're both orphans and must repay the time and care they received during their childhood. A well-oiled system, practically slavery, managed by the caste of gardiens.
Iduna and Ilkal's failure becomes a pretext to send them on an even more dangerous mission: retrieve ultra-powerful generators from a place where no one has dared venture since the aloteks appeared. A place where these monsters will be more ferocious and dangerous than ever.

Will Iduna and Ilkal find what they're looking for? What if the gardiens lied to them?

If you loved «Le fléau», «La route», or «Au bord de l'effondrement», you'll love «The Manufactured Children» where post-apocalyptic meets invasion sci-fi. A novel with endearing characters and adventures packed with action and twists.
