Orleans

In this dystopian adventure, a young woman faces incredible odds to save the young life that was entrusted to her.

“Orleans itself is a compelling intersection of environmental chaos and human politics.”—BBCB

“A riveting tale told in a striking, unique voice. You won’t regret picking this one up.”—Marie Lu, author of the New York Times bestselling Legend trilogy

The Delta borders have been sealed. The United States is changed forever.

After a string of devastating hurricanes and a severe outbreak of Delta Fever, the Gulf Coast has been quarantined. Years later, residents of the Outer States are under the assumption that life in the Delta is all but extinct . . . but in reality, a new, primitive society has been born.

Fen de la Guerre is living with her blood tribe in the Delta when they are ambushed. Left with her leader’s newborn and determined to get the baby to a better life over the wall, Fen meets Daniel, a scientist from the Outer States. Brought together by chance, kept together by danger, they are each other’s last hope for survival.
