Dry Souls

Overview

Kira has never listened to the rain on the roof, swum in a lake or seen a cloud. In a world where water is rationed by the drop, unauthorized use is punishable by law. When Kira finds a flower and waters it in secret, her subversive act uncovers an astonishing ability. She can call forth water with the touch of her hand. Suddenly, she dreams of refilling rivers, lakes and aquifers. Unfortunately, the United Territories Council has other ideas. They control the population by controlling the water. Now, they mean to control Kira too. Seeking to outwit those who would enslave her – while surviving environmental threats that could destroy her – Kira holds tight to her dream: to make the world green again.
