First published 2019
In the scorched remnants of Arizona, Elena Rodriguez tracks water and survival for her small lesbian commune. When a series of targeted attacks begin isolating their settlements, she realizes someone is systematically hunting queer survivors. With communication networks destroyed and resources dwindling, Elena must transform her community's defensive tactics from passive survival to active resistance. Her tactical skills from her pre-apocalypse military background become their only shield against an unknown enemy methodically eliminating their scattered enclaves. Each day brings fewer survivors, fewer safe zones, and a narrowing window to understand who—or what—is eliminating their population. At stake is not just survival, but the possibility of rebuilding a world where their community can exist.
