The Endless Desert Trilogy follows characters through a world stripped of easy resources, where survival depends on finding shelter, water, and people worth trusting. The series opens with In The Dust in 2022, continues with Finding the Bastion, and concludes with Descendants of Rust in 2023. All three books arrived within a year of each other, giving the trilogy a tight publication window that kept readers engaged through to the finish.
K.A. Gandy uses the desert setting to raise the stakes at every level. The environment itself is a threat before any human antagonist enters the picture, and the characters have to earn every small victory. In The Dust establishes the world and the survival rules that govern it, and Finding the Bastion builds on those stakes as the characters discover that other survivors don’t always share the same goals.
Descendants of Rust closes the trilogy by following the consequences of earlier choices into the next generation. It’s a fitting title for a finale that deals with what gets passed down after catastrophe. Readers who like their post-apocalyptic fiction grounded in physical survival rather than politics or action will find the Endless Desert Trilogy a solid fit.
