Rocket
Book One · publishing now
A woman wakes in the Sonoran desert with a GPS tracker sewn into her clothing and men hunting her through the dark. She doesn’t know what she is — only that she was left for dead and refused to stay that way. The cleanest place to begin.

The Cast
The Levantadas, the Elders, the Hunters
The women who were left for dead and rose anyway, the ones who have ruled this desert for a century, and the people who belong to no one. Meet them before you meet their stories, or after. Either works.

The Map
Pima & Cochise counties
Every haven, every boundary, every place something happened that was never reported. The real desert these books are set in, built from the draft and updated as the series grows. Walk the ground first.

From the author · read this first
The concessions that had to be made to tell this story, and why they continue to gut me. Before you read these books, there is something you should know about the compromises that let them exist.
