Literary Titan Gold Book Award for Fiction
After 17 years of drought, first-world nations struggle as the Ivory Coast and Cambodia thrive through water shipments via converted oil tankers. Kasemchai, heir to Cambodia's water dynasty, is focused on AI and fast cars until he meets Liv, an engineer building solar-powered tankers. He soon finds himself in a fierce battle against Angélique, his rival's calculating heir, who uses faith and fear to solidify her family's power. Kasemchai must choose between upholding the status quo or risking everything—his business, ideals, and life.
With vivid world-building and razor-sharp social commentary, The Water Carriers is a dizzying, dazzling depiction of a thirsty Earth (BlueInk Review). Fans of The Windup Girl and The Power will be captivated by this gripping, character-driven vision of a future where water is power—and those who control it will do anything to keep it.
