Lands of Dust by John Triptych
Millions of years into the future, the planet is dying. The oceans have dried into plains of ash. Strange and lethal creatures ravage the land. The surviving pockets of humanity eke out an existence using tools of bone.

But humans have also evolved. A select few of the men can move objects with a mere thought, and are called Magi. The women with the gift are called Strigas, and can control other minds. The rarest of them could do both, and were called Gorgons. After a brutal, devastating war that raged across the eons, the remaining Gorgons were thought to have been destroyed, the scant memories of their terrifying presence fading into legend.

Miri is powerful Striga and the chosen protector of her village by the Great Silt Sea. Her duty is to hunt for food and defend her people against attacks by raiders and monsters. When a mysterious young boy is found near the wastes, her once familiar world is shattered. Along with a small group of allies, she must journey across an unforgiving planet in order to unravel a mystery that could change everything.
