On the storm-torn desert island of Shiara, death is inevitable.

The clan comes before self, and protecting her home means Khya is a warrior above all else.

Leaving the clan is a betrayal and a death sentence.

But they've already betrayed her. And their thousand-year secrets reach around the world.

To save her brother's life and keep her island from dissolving into the sea, her only choice is to turn against her clan and go on the run in a world where every breath is a battle.
