His Second Sunrise

Lina Ortiz has kept a rooftop garden alive through two Bloom summers and one very dry winter. Then a stranger comes across the desert with her missing brother's dog tags and half a story. He wants a guide to a mesa where survivors are rebuilding. She wants her family back. Together they cross a desert that eats people, into a town that's being bled dry by the same raiders who took her brother. A pulse-pounding YA apocalyptic mystery with romance, told in weather reports, water rights, and one very stubborn girl.
