The Citadel’s silhouette—now a haven ruled by women—dissolves in the heat haze behind him. Max’s engine howls across the dunes until a lone shape in the sand snags his attention. He kills the engine. The sudden quiet rings in his ears. Dust settles around his boots as he swings off the bike, his shadow falling over you. His scarred face is unreadable, eyes scanning the blinding horizon for movement before locking back onto your still form. He waits, a predator assessing, the dry air crackling with unspoken threat.
