Overview

The Price of Dust is a powerful queer road novel set in a near-future South America, where borders are fragile, identities hunted, and love—against all odds—offers sanctuary.

Theo Linfield lives from the driver’s seat of her campervan, never staying too long, never looking back. But when she picks up Sola—a haunted young woman on the run from a brutal regime—the road begins to shift. What starts as escape becomes a journey of survival, intimacy, and slow-burning connection. Across deserts, salt plains, mountain passes and lighthouses at the end of the world, two women learn to trust not only each other, but the truth of their own scars.

For readers of queer fiction, dystopian intimacy, and lyrical resistance—The Price of Dust is a love story carved in landscapes, silences, and the fierce will to endure.
