Dustwalker's Bride - A Dark Steamy Dystopian Romance #924633

In a world where water is more precious than gold and death stalks the endless desert, Lyra Thalyn faces an impossible choice.
Her settlement of Haven's Rest has days before complete collapse, and salvation comes with a terrible price—marriage to the legendary Dustwalker, a man whose golden eyes hold secrets that could reshape humanity itself.
Draven Solis moves through sandstorms like a force of nature, bringing life-giving water to dying settlements while hiding a genetic legacy that marks him as something beyond human. When he offers to save Haven's Rest in exchange for Lyra's hand, she discovers their union is more than political convenience—it's the key to unlocking ancient technology that could restore Earth's shattered climate.
But the marriage ritual awakens dormant abilities in Lyra that threaten everyone around her, and Draven harbors a death wish born from centuries of guilt.
As they journey toward the mythical Deep Wellspring, they must navigate hostile forces, genetic conspiracies, and their own dangerous attraction to each other.
The Star Corps wants them captured, alien intelligences watch from the quantum realm, and the price of planetary salvation may be higher than either can bear.
In this gripping tale of survival and sacrifice, love blooms in the wasteland between two souls carrying the weight of humanity's future. But when the choice comes between personal happiness and species survival, what would you sacrifice to save the world?
