Across the Burning Sands
 |
Danger awaits on the Sand Road...
Shinjo Shono is heir to the Khan of Khans¸ destined to one day lead the Unicorn Clan. But the young warrior is torn with anguish and doubt¸ haunted by the memory of facing his former betrothed on the field of battle-and leaving her to die. His duty feels like a chain¸ and he longs for freedom. He soon learns that longing has a cost.
Shono travels west to negotiate with the caliph of al-Zawira and ensure continuing peace between the Nehiri and Unicorn. A single misstep could mean war¸ but cultural barriers are the least of Shono's concerns¸ as he faces duplicity¸ assassins¸ betrayal¸ and even sorcery. Can he find the strength within himself and his allies in this far-off city to secure the Unicorn's future?
