BORN OF SAND

Book V of Tales of a Dying Star

It was at the top of a sand dune, yellow haze blowing away in all directions, when the woman decided to die. But when she's captured at the last moment and denied escape, she must find a way to adapt and prove her worth as more than just a helpless prisoner. 

Meanwhile, Farrow's ragtag group of Freemen are caught between the manipulative Children of Saria and ruthless Melisao Peacekeepers. After being abandoned by his benefactors, can Farrow find a way to retake Praetar from its occupiers--and keep his men and women alive in the process?
