About the Book:
"The end of the world is only the beginning. A waterborne disease has contaminated the world’s fresh water, decimating the human race. Seventeen-year-old Eli McShane and his friends flee the chaos and violence in Phoenix and journey north toward the rumored location of a safe water source. They add several to their number, including the mysterious Hannah, who is being hunted by a dangerous man. Desperation brings out the worst in many of the travelers, infecting even those closest to Eli. When division comes, will he be able to hold his group together or will each fall victim to their own thirst for survival?
Join some old friends from Glenrock and Jack's Peak in this thrilling first book of the Thirst Duology. Best-selling author Jill Williamson has brought back the breathtaking suspense of the The Safe Lands series in this chilling prequel that will leave readers panting for the next installment."
Why I'm WoW about Thirst:
Jill Williamson is my absolute favorite YA author in Christian fiction right now. Though I adore her epic fantasy novels the most, The Safe Lands Trilogy was a mature dystopian entry in YA Christian Fiction that was sorely needed. After following the stories of Levi, Mason, and Omar, Eli's great-grandsons in the Safe Lands, I'm very much looking forward to seeing how everything began ... It was this dystopian world that convinced me that Williamson writes some of the best teen male protagonists in Christian YA.
I also really love the cover art Emilie Hendryx designed! Below, you can see The Safe Lands Trilogy covers which were traditionally published with Blink YA. I feel like the atmospheric sky and cloud elements tie the two series together --what do you think?

Such a cool cover! Your post has me curious to read this series now. I was also always intrigued by the cover of Outcasts.
