They are fighting to heal a broken world. Someone else is fighting to keep it dead.

In a country choked by dust and ecological collapse, one woman engineers life from dead ground. One man builds cities on the bones of the old world. Together, they are the last chance at a future worth living in.

Runa Dahl has spent five years in the ruins of the Midwest, using a genetically modified mycelial network to pull green out of toxic soil. After a brutal betrayal destroyed her career, the desert is the only place she trusts. Out here she can control the variables, control the risk, control herself.

Mateo Carter is the Reconstruction Council's star architect, famous for turning uninhabitable wastelands into gleaming hubs of commerce. He builds fast, he builds big, and he never looks back. His new assignment should be simple: design Neosho City, a prototype solarpunk settlement that proves the nation can still rise from the ashes.

Then the Council forces them to co-lead. Mateo represents the corporate compromise Runa despises. Runa is the one variable Mateo can't control. They are oil and water, enemies forced to share a blueprint.

But when systems fail and people start dying, the friction between them sparks into something else. To stop the sabotage, they must fuse his steel with her soil, weaponizing construction drones and bio-sensors to hunt a ghost in the machine.

From storm-scoured deserts to the rusting hulks of the "Boneyard," they are driven off-site and into the crosshairs. To survive, they will have to trust each other more than they trust the Council, risk their careers, and face the history that still burns between them.

The Pact is a high-stakes cli-fi romance that blends grounded sci-fi, climate fiction, and adventure for adults who want both heart and hazard. Perfect for readers who love smart worldbuilding, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers tension, and competency porn.
