Delta of Dead River has always kept her back hidden: branded on her skin is a map to a rumored paradise called the Verdant. It's a map many in their wasteland would kill for. When her family is abducted by raiders, Delta sets out to rescue them-- which means trading the location of Verdant. She needs Asher's help to decode the map, but what they find at the Verdant is a long-forgotten secret that will shake the foundation of her entire world. -- adapted from jacket
