Toxic Tides

By: Riley Miller, Grace Hamilton

Narrated by: Maxwell Zener

Huge Post-Apocalyptic Disaster Saga of an American Family Surviving a World-Changing Algae Bloom

In a world ravaged by drought, family is all that matters…

Eighteen-year-old Hazel refuses to become another wife and broodmare to the prophet of the Wellspring cult. She’s determined to find a safe haven for her younger brother, Caleb, in a world where 80% of all fresh water has been contaminated by an algae bloom. But if they’re going to survive, they’ll need help.

Scientists Emily and Sam, and wilderness guide Bash, might just be the kind of people they can count on. But a lifetime of isolation makes it near impossible for Hazel to trust outsiders. Even if they may be her only hope of breaking free from the prophet’s clutches.

A remote forest cabin seems to be the perfect base of operations to plan their escape. But when the cult’s soldiers come searching for them, Hazel must draw upon all her strength and skill to protect Caleb.

With her brother’s life hanging in the balance, she'll risk everything to save him - even if it means taking on the maniacal cult by herself.
