Tempest guards one of AgraStar's farms from rebel raiders. When an explosion releases a disease that kills everything--human and crop--at the compound, Tempest and rebel Alder race to take the seeds of the only unaffected plant to the rest of humanity. In this Mad Max–like dystopia, Duncan keeps the danger coming and the tension high as Tempest and Alder learn to work together.
