About the Book

Taylor despises PanTech with its ruthless philosophy - Strength Through Adversity. And when PanTech enforces that principle by releasing a deadly beast on her village, the young woman's animal-handling skills put her in mortal danger.

Book Synopsis

PanTech claims it protects the people. Taylor knows better-especially now that a monster they engineered is stalking her village.

Seventeen-year-old Taylor has learned to survive by keeping her head down. In a world where PanTech decides where you live, what you own, and who you're allowed to become, even a whispered complaint can cost you everything. But when a terrified boy describes a massive fanged creature lurking beneath the sand, Taylor recognizes the truth immediately.

A giant Desert Burrower-a creature PanTech created, transported, and released.

And it's hunting.

When livestock turn up mutilated and the ground trembles with something moving beneath it, Taylor's worst fears ignite. An inexperienced Burrower will grow fast. It will adapt. And once it kills a human, it will return again and again... until every last villager is gone.

PanTech denies everything-as always. They control the weapons. They control the information. And they will punish anyone who steps out of line. But Taylor can't stay silent. Not when she's one of the few people who understands how deadly this creature really is.

To protect her brother, her home, and the people PanTech refuses to save, Taylor must uncover why the monster was released-and what PanTech is planning next.

If she fails, the desert won't just take her village. It will erase it.

Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent, and survival-driven YA dystopias filled with danger, lies, engineered creatures, and heroines who refuse to break.One girl. One monster born of sand. One empire built on control.Can Taylor stop the Burrower before PanTech decides she's the bigger threat?
