FORGOTTEN LANDS, BOOK ONE​
​
In a world where water is power, truth is the deadliest weapon.
Centuries after the world crumbled, sandstorms scour the American West and survival depends on secrets. In the desert town of Sagebrush, Marshal Cunningham controls every drop of precious water—and every life that depends on it.
Jo Mason has spent years watching the marshal’s cruelty destroy her family and community. When her chance for revenge finally comes, she discovers an unlikely complication: the marshal’s rakish son Clayton, the reluctant heir who never wanted his father’s blood-soaked legacy to begin with.
Forced into an alliance neither wanted, Jo and Clayton uncover lies that run deeper than Sagebrush’s hidden springs. As buried truths surface and loyalties shift, Jo must choose between the vengeance she’s craved and a future she never dared imagine.
But in a world where water means survival, some secrets are worth killing for and others are worth dying to protect.
This gritty tale of survival, betrayal, and hard-won love launches the soul-stirring Forgotten Lands series, where hope blooms in the harshest soil.

what readers are say . . .
"I can't express how much I loved it! It was one of those can't-go-to-bed-yet-I-just-need-to-read-one-more-chapter books that resulted a lot of lost sleep. An eclectic blend of genres… The way Lindsey brought them all together was pure creative genius. A sprinkling of western, action & adventure, and new adult romance. I've never read anything quite like this" - Camille Picott, Post-Apocalyptic Author
"Not my usual read, but I loved it! Such an amazing story, with excellent character development and world building. I felt like I was watching a movie while reading it. There is romance, but it’s not gratuitous. There is passion, despair, and everything in between." - Sabrina, Amazon
"I loved this whole series. If I could give more then 5 stars I would. The Author is now on my auto-buy list." - Susan, Goodreads
