In Glory’s world, different means deviant—and dead.

In a post-apocalyptic world, where the earth is buried by asteroid dust that’s mutated the DNA of some humans, an orphaned sixteen-year-old, Glory, must hide and protect her younger brother. If their Deviant abilities are discovered, they’ll be expunged—kicked out of the dome to be tortured and killed by the Shredders. Glory would give anything to get rid of her unique ability to kill with her emotions, especially when Cal, the boy she’s always liked, becomes a spy for the authorities. But when her brother is discovered, and she learns their father, who was expunged for killing their mother, is still alive, she must escape the domed city that’s been her entire world.

Outside in the ruins, they’re pursued by the authorities and by sadistic, scab-covered Shredders who are addicted to the lethal-to-humans dust now covering the planet. Glory’s quests to transport herself and her brother to safety make up the thrilling and fascinating first volume of The Dust Chronicles.

The author of Deviants has donated this book to the Worldreader program.

Maureen McGowan left a career in finance and software development to pursue her love of fiction, honing her craft as a novelist. Aside from her love of the printed word, she’s passionate about art, dance, films, fine handcrafted objects, and shoes. She lives and writes in Toronto, Canada.

Reviews

“McGowan launches The Dust Chronicles with a bang, painting her post-apocalyptic world with a dark brush and featuring a strong-willed and determined protagonist. Readers will be immediately transported to this world where businessmen rule the job-based class system.” —Sabrina Cooper, RT Book Reviews

“This first installment in an interesting new post-apocalyptic dystopian series finds the Earth choked with dust that creates paranormal abilities in some humans…McGowan keeps the suspense throbbing throughout most of the novel, with new challenges constantly confronting the teens. Kirkus Reviews

“A deliciously dark, harrowing world, brightened by dazzling characters and sparkling prose.” —Kelley Armstrong
