PanTech claims it protects the people. Seventeen-year-old Taylor knows better—especially now that a monster they engineered is stalking her village.
In a world where PanTech controls where you live, what you own, and who you become, even a whisper of rebellion can cost everything. When a terrified boy reports a massive fanged creature beneath the sand, Taylor recognizes the truth immediately: a Desert Burrower. Created. Released. Hunting.
As livestock are torn apart and the ground trembles, Taylor realizes the danger is escalating. Once the Burrower tastes human blood, it won’t stop until the village is wiped out.
PanTech denies everything. They control the weapons and the truth—but Taylor refuses to stay silent. To protect her brother and her home, she must uncover why the creature was unleashed… and what PanTech is planning next.
Because if she fails, the desert won’t just claim her village—it will erase it.
Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Divergent.
