The Earth's Water is Vanishing
America's Pacific Northwest is careening toward dystopia. Water is vanishing from every lake and river. There is no rain, even in Seattle, where the taps are dry. The media dubs it the Aguageddon. Once known as "the city of goodwill," Seattle becomes a civil war zone fraught with chaos, crime, and desperation.
Marella Wells, an office assistant at the chemical manufacturing company HemisNorth, thinks she may have discovered what is happening to the water, but as oceans begin to drain around the world, society is failing so swiftly that proper channels to sound the alarm have collapsed.
With her mentor-boss Elizabeth Fehr and displaced college student Noah Mburu, Marella embarks on a journey in the depleting Pacific Ocean to stop the out-of-control cause of the world's demise. They battle for survival amid the growing effects of life-threatening disasters-windstorms, sandstorms, fire, impassable microplastic swamps-with a violent religious cult at their heels. If they aren't fast enough, all life on Earth will perish.
