Thirst by K.L. Barron About the book A stunning betrayal forces a young woman to flee a relationship and forge a new life in one of the most brutal landscapes on earth. Gradually adapting to her new surroundings, she becomes aware of the impending dissolution of an entire culture. A diverse cast of displaced Westerners, local nomads, and djinn converge as everyone scrambles to survive and everything comes undone. An excerpt from Thirst A deep roar startled the camels and goats. They shied away from the trough, water dripping from their mouths. Nomads drawing the water from the well dropped their black rubber buckets on the sand. The sound came not from a predator stalking their animals from the surrounding dunes but from above. They shaded their eyes against the sun. "Avions," airplanes, a shirtless schoolboy shouted, his friends jumping and waving their arms. Praise for Thirst "Deftly written and crafted." -Mark Sullivan, bestselling author of The Last Green Valley "Thirst will haunt you." -Aimee Liu, author of Glorious Boy "Every page made me want to read more." -Laura Moriarty, author of The Center of Everything About the author K.L.
