Survival and loyalty in a war-torn world.
The Drowned Cities is a gripping tale of two orphaned survivors, Mahlia and Mouse, and their struggle to survive in a world ravaged by civil war and demagogues who recruit children to become killing machines. The story takes a surprising turn when they meet Tool, a bioengineered creature who was once a weapon of war but is now hunted by soldiers.

Description
In this exhilarating companion to Printz Award winner and National Book Award finalist Ship Breaker, Paolo Bacigalupi brilliantly captures a dark future America that has devolved into unending civil wars, driven by demagogues who recruit children to become soulless killing machines. Two refugees of these wars, Mahlia and Mouse, are known as 'war maggots': survivors who have barely managed to escape the unspeakable violence plaguing the war-torn lands of the Drowned Cities. But their fragile safety is threatened when they discover a wounded half-man--a bioengineered war beast named Tool, who is hunted by a vengeful band of soldiers. When tragedy strikes, Mahlia is faced with an impossible decision: risk everything to save the boy who once saved her, or flee to her own safety. Drawing upon the brutal truths of current events, The Drowned Cities is a powerful story of loyalty, survival, and heart-pounding adventure.
