A new and unique dystopian world brought to readers by the award-winning author The Last Cuentista. For the last 400 years, Earth has been a barren wasteland. The few surviving humans scrape by, locked in the walls of Pocatel. After his younger sister, Gabi, is caught stealing a strawberry from a Pocatelan elite, Leandro takes the blame to save her from exile and inevitable death. After being exiled to the land beyond the wall himself, Leandro finds himself face-to-face with other alebrije, mutant sand monsters, and wasteland pirates. Leandro seeks a better life in a world where truth is buried far beneath power and secrets. A brilliant new story to a reemerging genre.
