It's 2075. California is nothing like we know it.
The USA has broken up, and California has become an independent refuge dominated by a single omnipotent corporation. Eighteen-year-old Bran, a shepherd, is given a mission to traverse the California Republic in ten days to save his rural community from forfeiting its land.
On the way, he teams up with a seventeen-year-old girl who has the skills and prowess of a warrior, an eleven-year-old wild boy with uncanny survival skills, and a wandering musician with a secret revolutionary agenda. After the Parch is a fast-paced, vivid, dystopian fantasy with a chilling resemblance to our current state and a vision of what we might become. It's a well-crafted story, and the plot flows naturally from one crisis to another, with three-dimensional characters that culminate in a taut and positive climax.
