The Drowned Cities

In a bleak future America ravaged by war and chaos, young refugees Mahlia and Mouse find a precarious refuge in the jungle outskirts. Their world shatters when they encounter Tool, a wounded bioengineered creature, and are pursued by a ruthless band of soldier boys. As danger closes in, one must decide whether to risk everything for friendship or choose the uncertain possibility of freedom. This gripping tale of loyalty and survival is a compelling companion to Paolo Bacigalupi's "Ship Breaker."
