Mother Ceres: Children of the Revolution | Volume 1 and 2
A dictatorship of well-being governed by an imperfect mother. A world that is constantly at war, where peace is merely an accident. Peace is a sweet but superficial illusion when placed against survival. The story takes place in a world marked by constant wars, where Ceres emerges: an isolated and highly organized city-state governed by an almost divine and absolute figure—Mother Ceres. Under her ideology, freedom is seen as the enemy, and in exchange for it, citizens are given security, food, education, and purpose. Everyone lives as part of a machine—useful, controlled, and completely belonging to Mother Ceres. www.maeceres.com.br
