Fire Country (The Country Saga, #1)

Amazon / Audiobook / Goodreads

GOODREADS BLURB

In a changed world where the sky bleeds red, winter is hotter than hell and full of sandstorms, and summer’s even hotter with raging fires that roam the desert-like country, the Heaters manage to survive, barely.

Due to toxic air, life expectancies are so low the only way the tribe can survive is by forcing women to procreate when they turn sixteen and every three years thereafter. It is their duty as Bearers.

Fifteen-year-old Siena is a Youngling, soon to be a Bearer, when she starts hearing rumors of another tribe of all women, called the Wild Ones. They are known to kidnap Youngling girls before the Call, the ceremony in which Bearers are given a husband with whom to bear children with.

As the desert sands run out on her life’s hourglass, Siena must uncover the truth about the Wild Ones while untangling the web of lies and deceit her father has masterfully spun.

I added Fire Country by David Estes to my TBR on 1.15.13. I have the entire Dweller series and with this gorgeous cover and the blurb, this reads all too scary. Could this be our future? I love these kind of books and a strong female characters, so Siena has really peaked my interest. It’s the only book I have in The Country Saga, but I still want to read it. How about you? If you don’t have the entire series, do you keep the book?
