Here’s what mine’s about!

In 2012, the world came to a grinding halt as radiation hit from a massive solar storm. Crops died, animals perished, cities fell, and humans became little more than beasts themselves. Under the threat of starvation, civility was reduced to mere memory. Only the strongest men survived, and physically weaker women and children wasted to nothingness.

More than a century later, humanity struggles in the desert Wasteland that was left. The solar radiation rendered most women infertile, and the population dwindles more with each year that passes. Scattered up and down coasts, isolated cities eke out an existence from fishing, foraging, and hunting for what little game remains. Outside the city walls, men face the threat of pirates and raiders.

There is only one rule in the Wasteland: survive.

Few women remain, divided into four classes: Wanderers, Whores, Breeders, and Priestesses. They are as reviled as they are worshipped, a commodity any man must pay to touch. And to touch a Wanderer, he may pay with his life.

For Ezra, the risk is worth the reward. He’s half-scientist and half-mercenary. People speak his name in the same reverent terror reserved for ancient wrathful gods. He controls and invents the alternative fuel sources that power what is left of technology in the Wasteland, but he must always be ready to fend off those who would take what is his.

And what he wants to be his is Kadira. From her clan of Wanderers, he demands she spend the month of Spring Rites in his bed as the price for her people’s fuel. He’ll gladly deal with her wrath if it means finally having the warrior woman in his arms. The scientist can’t resist the urge to see what he can make react, and what he can make explode. The real experiment will be if he can keep her once he has her where he wants her.
