BOOK SYNOPSIS
Find the spire
Make a wish
Find the spire
Make a wish
Dayah has always lived behind walls of luxury and power—until violence rips her from her home and she is forced into the scorching heat of the Red Deserts of Rama. Abandoned by her father. Hunted by enemies. And alone... except for three guards, each with secrets of their own.
Among them is Tamar, a sharp-eyed Lieutenant with a storm behind his handsome smile—and a loyalty she can’t quite trust. As survival grows harder and whispers of rebellion reach even the dunes, an ancient tale surfaces: a Spire of Legend has appeared in the desert, said to grant a single wish to those brave—or desperate—enough to reach its center.
If Dayah can find the Spire, she might win back everything she’s lost. But she's haunted by questions no one can answer—about the night her home was attacked, whether she's actually as capable as she believed she was, and the strange, new darkness that seems to spread farther each day.

“The moonlight cast dancing shadows between the flood of warm firelight from the many softly crackling braziers. Aside from the disfigured palm tree, the small group of five were surrounded by a vast, enclosed garden full of well-manicured flora and fauna. Olive and pomegranate trees interspersed with tall palms, shrubby roses, and jasmine provided them a magnificent—and more importantly—private venue for what has over the past year become a bi-weekly occurrence.”
SETTING THE STAGE
WElcome to the wolrd of rama
WElcome to
the wolrd of rama
WElcome to the wolrd of rama
Endless red sands stretch to the horizon, broken only by jagged black mountains and the shimmer of unbearable heat. In this unforgiving wasteland, water is more precious than gold—bartered by the desperate, hoarded by kings, and spilled only in blood.
Legends whisper of the Spires—ancient monoliths that once breathed life into the dust, their hidden wells pouring life-giving water across the land and a wish grated to whomever could discover it's mysteries. For generations, they’ve been lost to time and sand… until now.
A glimmer rises on the horizon.
EARLY READER REVIEWS
“This book drew me in with its lush world-building and unexpected twists, but it was the scattered clues—easy to miss, but impossible to stop thinking about—that made it truly memorable. They point to something much deeper just under the surface. I’ve got a theory… and I can’t wait to see if book two proves me right!”
