Corrosion

The devastating Black Rain has transformed the once-lush land into an arid wasteland, turning all water into a gel-like substance across the globe. Fresh, drinkable water has become the planet's most precious commodity, sought after by all. Some have chanced upon underground liquid reserves, while those with no choice but to drink gelled water become "Corrosives," disfigured by a verdigrislike substance covering their bodies. The Golden Tower of Prince Boris shines above the otherwise derelict city of Torono. From the Golden Tower, Geo Woodman secretly leads the fight to save his clan and the people of Torono from the dangers of corrupt leaders and the hazardous climate.

Gurgu follows up Pink Corrosion with this third series offering, centred on crowned Prince of the Silkers, Geo Woodman, as he heads into his toughest battle yet, against Emperor Han the Great. While Han moves through territories leaving destruction in the wake of his chilling army, Prince Geo and his own battalion are determined to end Han's reign of terror once and for all-and restore what's left of their dystopian world. Struggling to survive Earth's loss of water and resources-and the ever-nearing destruction of Han-Prince Geo and his princess, Bree, navigate their new roles as leaders and prepare for a high-stakes fight that will determine civilization's final outcome.

This is Book 2 of the Corrosion series that starts with Green Corrosion. After killing Prince Boris and after the second Black Rain stops, Geo Woodman takes Boris' Medusa hand to the Golden Tower to prove he'd defeated him and is the heir to the Silkers crown. Crowned as the Silkers' head Geo and Bree struggle to win the Silker Commanders' and Council's trust and support in their effort to stop Silver Star from destroying the Caves. And as their effort continues another danger appears on the horizon-an emperor, Han the Great, who had conquered half the world, is headed their way.
