Synopsis

Even as the world collapses, she will cross the ruins of a nation for the love that death itself cannot silence. 

In the wake of a national calamity known only as The Water Event, Brooklyn Tremain launches herself across a shattered America in pursuit of Martin Siriso-the man she loves and the man she refuses to lose. Was he swallowed by the chaos, or is he running from forces that thrive on catastrophe?

Her hunt through a ravaged landscape exposes the ruthless reach of Hast Industries, who will stop at nothing to seize the quantum device in her possession. Inspired by Isis and Osiris, A WAVE OF BREATH is both a love story and a journey through danger, devotion, and the power of a bond that refuses to die.

About this title

About the Author

A coal miner's granddaughter, Tess Collins was born and raised in a crater. Yes, really-a crater formed by the impact of an asteroid millions of years ago, where her hometown of Middlesboro, Kentucky was eventually built. Tess spent her younger years in a one-room Carnegie Library, reading around the room. She started with BLUEBERRIES FOR SAL and ended with WAR AND PEACE, at which point she thought, I want to do that. That ambition took her to the University of Kentucky, where she majored in journalism and creative writing, and eventually to a Ph.D. from The Union Institute and University, with a focus on theatre management and producing. She is the author of eight novels and a non-fiction book on theater management. She now lives in San Francisco, where on a clear day she can see the Golden Gate Bridge, a long way from the crater, but exactly where she was always headed. Visit her website at TessCollins.com/
