Watershed

When a single drop of water is worth every drop of blood...

16-year-old Cassie is the best water thief in Los Angeles, but her luck is about to run dry.



Born as water finally ran out in the American West, Cassie doesn't remember the brutal civil war that followed-only that her parents died in it. Now the tyrannical Judges rule, and their Dowser henchmen would execute Cassie if they caught her.



Just when Cassie's about to leave that dangerous underworld behind forever, she fills in for an injured (boy)friend on one last job. It goes sideways. Cassie flees for her life.



She finds shelter with a band of nomadic revolutionaries who call themselves the Transcendents. They're a ragtag bunch: squabbling twin boys, a kindly doctor, a brooding water raider, his bristling lover, and a host of other outcasts who have joined forces on a secret mission to reclaim their world.



As the Transcendent caravan winds across the desert, Cassie is torn between joining their cause and finding a way back home. But her disappearance had a ripple effect she could never have imagined, and larger plots are afoot that will change the country - and her own life - forever.
