Hell hath no fury like a ratter scorned.
In a post-apocalyptic world where purified water means life and rainwater means death, ratters struggle to survive while highsiders live in luxury.
When River Quinn, a fiery eighteen-year-old ratter, is released from a decade-long sentence for stealing water for her dying father, she travels home to reunite with her mother--only to discover her mother is gone, and the very highsider who sent her to the Pen now owns her land. With a ragtag group of friends by her side, River sets out to even the score.
THE WATER THIEF is the first in a dystopian and post-apocalyptic trilogy that boasts diverse characters trying to survive a world devastated by climate change. This ROBIN HOOD retelling addresses our planet's health, the cost of living, and the wealth disparity between classes to give this age-old story a new face. Readers of THE HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT will appreciate River’s gritty personality and imperfections.
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
