In "Blood Red Road" by Moira Young, readers are introduced to Saba, a fiercely independent teenage girl living in a dystopian world. After her father is murdered and her twin brother, Eli, is kidnapped by mysterious men, Saba embarks on a perilous journey across the harsh wasteland to rescue him. Along the way, she faces treacherous landscapes, ruthless enemies, and unexpected allies, including a band of rebels known as the Free Hawks. As Saba navigates physical and emotional challenges, she discovers her own strength, confronting her fears and ultimately transforming into a warrior driven by love and loyalty.
