Books like The wild dead by Carrie Vaughn
Set a century after environmental and economic collapse, the people of the Coast Road have rebuilt a fragile civilization that strictly rationes resources—including the right to have children. Enid of Haven, an investigator from the Haven settlement, travels with her new partner Teeg to mediate a resource dispute in a remote village on the edge of Coast Road territory. Their investigation turns deadly when a young outsider’s body is found in the marshland—an outsider belonging to the nomadic and wild folk outside the Coast Road communities. Enid must uncover who killed her, while Teeg argues the murder is not theirs to solve. In this dystopian future of isolated communities, the story asks whether human morality can survive the harshest hardships.
