Generations after the events of Sand, four siblings, Conner, Rob, Palmer, and Violet, try to carve out lives in the same brutal desert their father and older sister vanished into. A second thread follows Anya, raised in the mining wealth of the Empire of the East, whose home is destroyed by an atomic bomb, sending her after her father and the people responsible. Hugh Howey's first new novel in the Sand Chronicles in six years.
