 Dust Lands #1: Blood Red Road
by Moira Young | $9.99 paperback or ebook
Buy now: paperback » or ebook »
If you're looking for the next book to satisfy the post-apocalyptic craze sparked by The Hunger Games, look no further than Moira Young's action-packed Blood Red Road. The first book in the Dust Land series, the story follows young Saba, who sees her beloved twin brother, Lugh, kidnapped by mysterious riders right before her eyes. Motivated by a blind passion to save her twin, Saba blazes a bright path through a desolate, desert world. Faced with gladiator-style cage fight matches and Dune-esque giant worms, Saba is a memorable heroine that would give Katniss Everdeen the fight of her life. Don't let the unique dialect of the writing scare you off—fans of strong female characters, survival stories, and beautifully yet bleakly rendered dystopian worlds will devour this promising beginning to a powerful new trilogy. —Camilla
