Nor Any Drop to Drink
The Lies of the Ajungo (Forever Desert, volume 1)
By Moses Ose Utomi
The Lies of the Ajungo is the first volume in Moses Ose Utomi’s debut novella; it is the first entry in his projected Forever Desert series.
Faced with an unending drought, the people of a desperate city accepted aid from the Ajungo Empire. The Empire provided just enough water to sustain life, or perhaps a smidgen less. There was, of course, a price.
