Description
In the near future, the balance of power shifts dramatically when all the world’s water falls in only two locations, leaving Cambodia and the Ivory Coast as unexpected water-rich havens.
Kasemchai, the heir to Cambodia’s water family, recklessly transitions from the business of AI dating to an audacious plan to end fuel-powered tanker ships, a move complicated by his clandestine relationship with the daughter of the African water family and his partnership with a brilliant yet initially unassuming engineer.
When rain suddenly appears in Brazil, due to the success of the battery-powered ships, Kasemchai faces the shifting loyalties of his family, partners, and hidden enemies. A third water nation is rising—and it could destroy his family’s empire.
