In The Dust

"A catastrophic meteor shower decimated earth hundreds of years ago, leaving the survivors scrabbling as the earth slowly turned to desert. Twenty-three year old Nyx wakes up one day to find her older brother and protector vanished, leaving her utterly alone in the Wastes. She has only her skills as a scavenger and their busted-up Bronco to lean on as she works to stay alive, and find out who took him. Things go from bad to worse when the gang who runs Coyote Springs set their sights on her--a woman alone, and an appealing target. With her life crumbling around her, She's willing to risk death to avoid a life under their thumb, and takes off into the desolate landscape to try to find any clue to her brother's whereabouts. The stakes have never been higher as her water supply slowly dwindles, and any hope she had of remaining free and finding her brother are drained away, one precious drop at a time."--Provided by publisher.
