Disclaimer: I received an ecopy of this from the author in exchange for my honest opinions. That in no way impacts my review.
They talk of open borders and flowing rivers.
They say the world was green.
But drought swept across the globe and the United States of the past disappeared under a burning sky.
Enora Byrnes lives in the aftermath, a barren world where water has become the global currency. In a life dominated by duty to family and community, Enora is offered a role within an entity that controls everything from water credits to borders. But it becomes clear that not all is as it seems. From the wasted confines of her small town to the bowels of a hidden city, Enora will uncover buried secrets that hide an unthinkable reality.
As truth reveals the brutal face of what she has become, she must ask herself: how far will she go to retain her humanity?
As a reminder, I did a first chapter review and you can find that here. I think this is going to be a great book, It was addictive, I did not want to stop reading. It has a 1984 feel to it and I need to know what happens! Be sure to stop in and check out the full reviews and other posts as well. You will not regret it, there are some amazing reviews and they really give you a feel for the book.
