Part of the Drowned Earth series. The Rise by Sue-Ellen Pashley. 


Katie James’ life is about to change . . . again. 


Having survived The Great Rise which decimated the land, the former medical student has made a new life for herself under the leadership of the Authority. But her peaceful existence on the edge of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland is shattered when she discovers a body floating in the waves. 


Unsure who she can trust, Katie embarks on a mission to discover the truth… even if it puts her on the same kill list.
