“Lena Gibson (the bestselling author of The Edge of Life) lays the tracks into an exciting new post-apocalyptic world where corporate greed controls the necessities of life, one ancient society’s trash is today’s salvation, and the heart of one heroine can save a country’s soul.” —D. Lambert, author of Son of No Man series
In a dark dystopian future where one corporation owns everything from water to truth, a scavenger unearths something extraordinary in the trash. She has no idea it will make her the most wanted woman in the West.
Deep in the sprawling landfill outside Long Beach, Elsa survives on water tokens and careful silence under the grip of GreenCorps, a megacorp that owns every resource and every rule. When she uncovers maps to hidden seed banks, she holds the key to breaking the stranglehold on food. But secrets have a way of attracting the wrong people.
On the run and hunted across the West, she finds an unlikely ally in a train-hopping drifter whose love and quiet loyalty are the last thing she expected. Fans of The Hunger Games, Red Rising, and Wool will find the same futuristic hopepunk spirit here, wrapped in a story that burns with urgency and grit.
Elsa found the key that could feed a starving world. Now the most powerful corporation alive wants her dead. If you love survival, relentless action, and heroes who refuse to quit, this is the adventure you have been waiting for.
