About this book
In a near-future American Southwest devastated by drought, access to water determines which cities survive and who can afford protection. Angel Velasquez works for a powerful Las Vegas water authority, using coercion and sabotage to secure its interests. In Phoenix, his path crosses those of Lucy Monroe, a journalist investigating the region’s collapse, and Maria Villarosa, a young refugee trying to find a way out. Their intersecting stories form a violent, tightly wound struggle over resources and legal power. The speculative setting remains rooted in recognizable infrastructure, political rivalry, and the precarious lives of people without security.
