In a suffocating, walled-in city where a single cigarette costs five caps and the ruthless Sulfur Soldiers enforce a brutal curfew, sixteen-year-old Bernadette "Birdie" has heard the same promise fifty times: We're going to escape. Her older brother, Ernest, has spent years mapping out their grand exit, mourning a ghost named Cornelia Dogwood, and hoarding supplies with their muscle-bound friends, Johnny and Ben. But as the price of survival climbs and the patrol's boots stomp closer to their door, Birdie realizes that waiting for Ernest to save them is a death sentence. It's time to stop dreaming and start running.
Pushed past the breaking point, a split-second chance propels Birdie, Ernest, and their closest ally out of the city and into the savage, unforgiving wastes. Hunted relentlessly by the same forces that kept them imprisoned, the trio must bleed out their old selves to stay alive. In the crucible of the badlands, they transform from hunted teens into a legendary outlaw syndicate: the unpredictable Harley Haint, the fiercely protective Hound Dog, and the mastermind pulling the strings, Birdie B.A.E.
The Rise of Harley Haint, Hound Dog, and Birdie B.A.E. is a dystopian coming-of-age story about survival, found family, and the heavy price of freedom. It's a journey of how three nobodies broke out of a dying world and carved their own terrifying, beautiful legends into the ashes.
