This is book one of the Candomble Guard series, a 392 page action packed futuristic drama. It's hard to categorize this novel because it has so many covered. Mystery, Romance, Fantasy, and SYFY.
It is well written by Danielle Bellwood and depicts a strong female lead that is a captain of the guard.
The gist is the much needed resources of the future, that being food and water, and the Candomble guard's job is to protect those resources.
The female lead, Dari Nguyen, is known as an all business leader, without a private life of any kind. Until a certain man from another community shows up to be trained as a guard.
Excellent read.
