Set one hundred years after a catastrophe known as the ‘Big Wet’, it’s the story of Michael and Abi, two characters with unique and unnatural powers, as they search for the fabled land of A-Ree-Yass-I; which legend says is where the Big Wet began.

Their quest will take them thousands of miles across a ruined, hostile land where technology has been forgotten and scavenging is a way of life. Where a relentless sun beats down through a cloudless sky. Where no birds take to the air, no forests carpet the hills. Where the oceans are fetid and poisonous, impossible to cross.

But Michael has been walking this land longer than he can remember. If anyone can beat the odds and survive the journey, Abi believes it’s him. With his survival skills and her quick thinking, can they find A-Ree-Yass-I together?

Perhaps. But along the way they’ll face betrayal, prejudice, war, revolution and more…
