Saba's life in Silverlake is one of scavenging in a dried-up wasteland left behind by the Wreckers. All is bearable as long as her beloved twin brother Lugh is with her. But when a monster sandstorm brings four cloaked horsemen who capture Lugh, Saba's world is irrevocably shattered.

Determined to rescue Lugh, Saba embarks on an epic quest that throws her into the lawless reality outside Silverlake. It is here that she discovers her own capacity for fierce fighting, survival, and cunning strategy. Allying with a handsome daredevil named Jack and a band of girl revolutionaries known as the Free Hawks, Saba's fight for Lugh's freedom will lead to a showdown that may just change the course of her civilization.

Blood Red Road is a tale of unyielding action, a poetically minimal writing style, and an epic love story, marking Moira Young as a remarkable voice in teen fiction.
