Barter

A fast-paced post-apocalyptic novella from Nommo award-nominated author Erhu Kome. Perfect for fans of Suyi Davies Okungbowa.

Years after the rains stopped mid downpour and returned to the clouds, leaving Earth a barren wasteland and society fractured into small groups, water becomes humanity’s only currency. Zane, leader of The Freeborn, strikes a deal with the Soldiers of Fortune, offering a prized prisoner for precious water. But when the exchange is ambushed by mutated creatures born of the disaster, the deal takes a deadly turn. Zane must choose: escort the surviving Soldiers of Fortune back to their stronghold through monster-infested wastelands for the promise of more water or protect his people from the perilous journey.
