The Water Lords
O ovoj audioknjizi
In a future where rivers have run dry and rain falls only by corporate command, survival comes with a price tag. The Midwest is a wasteland, its towns forced to bid for storms while the rich drink freely from reservoirs guarded like treasure vaults.
Sixteen-year-old Mara Halstead has known nothing but thirst. Her farming town is on the brink of collapse when she stumbles upon her late father’s greatest secret: blueprints for a machine that can summon rain without corporate satellites or auctions. A device that could return power to the people—and destroy the empire of Titan Hydrologics, the ruthless conglomerate that owns the skies.
But knowledge is as dangerous as drought. Titan’s CEO, Victor Kane, will stop at nothing to seize the invention. Armed with mercenaries and laws twisted to his favor, he launches a relentless hunt to silence Mara before her father’s legacy sparks a revolution.
Fleeing across a sun-scorched land with only a hacked water-credit tablet, a defiant best friend, and an ex-corporate insider as allies, Mara must outwit enemies who control not only water, but the future itself. Every decision carries a cost: loyalty or betrayal, scarcity or hope, survival or sacrifice.
The skies are for sale, and Mara holds the one key that could unlock them. But unleashing the rain might come at a price greater than she ever imagined.
The Water Lords is a pulse-pounding dystopian thriller about power, greed, and the unbreakable fight for a future where the rain belongs to all.
