Summary:

"When raiders sent by a man known as the General attack her village, Delta suspects he is searching for her. Delta sets out to rescue her family but quickly learns that in the Wastes no one can be trusted; perhaps not even her childhood friend, Asher, who has been missing for nearly a decade. If Delta can trust Asher, she just might decode the map and trade evidence of the Verdant to the General for her family. What Delta doesn't count on is what waits at the Verdant: a long-forgotten secret that will shake the foundation of her entire world"-- Provided by publisher

Delta of Dead River has always kept her back hidden: branded on her skin is a map to a rumored paradise called the Verdant. It's a map many in their wasteland would kill for. When her family is abducted by raiders, Delta sets out to rescue them-- which means trading the location of Verdant. She needs Asher's help to decode the map, but what they find at the Verdant is a long-forgotten secret that will shake the foundation of her entire world. -- adapted from jacket
