Publication
date: June 2015
Genres:
Dystopia, New Adult
Synopsis:
The water is gone. The
wars have begun.
Clean water is a luxury
most can no longer afford. Climate change, industrial sabotage, and
greed have turned country against country as each one tries to
provide for its citizens. Terrorist groups target desalinization
plants and frustrated governments hunt those who work against them.
Rationing, sequestering, and patrolling have become routine at a time
when there are too many people and not enough resources.
While the world around
them disintegrates into chaos, Zach and Vivienne hope that their life
in a government-run complex will retain some semblance of normalcy.
But when attacks on their water supplies bring war to their sheltered
community, they must accept their new fate. Stay and fight or flee
and endure—it’s a difficult decision with lasting consequences.
Will they choose what’s
safe? Or will they choose to survive?

Excerpt One
I swear someone broke into
my house and stole one of every shoe I owned. It was probably that
National Guard asshole who gives me dirty looks every time I leave
our compound. Yeah, I bet it was him. Despite the world crashing down
around us, he still made time to be a dick.
“Mom! Where’d you put
my cleats?” Reaching under the bed, I pulled out a crusty piece of
pizza, several pairs of boxers, and a giant ball of gray fuzz. But
not the other shoe I needed for football practice this afternoon.
“Mom!”
“Stop yelling,” she
said calmly from my doorway. “You know, if you’d clean your room
every once in a while, it wouldn’t look like a nuclear bomb
exploded in here and you just might be able to find something.”
Still crawling around on
the floor, I tossed the mix of clean and dirty clothes to the side as
I continued to search for my shoe. “Did you put them somewhere?”
“Why would I take your
shoes?”
I looked up at her and
shook my head. Blonde hair pulled up into a bun, arms crossed, and
her body leaning gently against the door frame, my mom had no
intention of helping me. In fact, she was trying not to smile.
“Because you enjoy
tormenting me?” I mumbled.
“I don’t enjoy
tormenting you, Zachary.”
Rolling my eyes at the use
of my full name, I stood and grabbed my bag off the bed. “Well, I
guess I’ll just go to practice barefoot.”
“Did you check your
closet?” my mom asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Of course I did!”
“Really?”
She jerked her chin in
that direction and I followed her gaze. There, resting up against the
white slated door, sat my football cleat. “Did you just put that
there?”
My mom laughed. “Yes, I
have the power of telekinesis and I use it specifically to torture
you.”
