'...Emilia...' The voice was familiar. '...Emilia...' She looked up and could have sworn she had seen her father. The heat bouncing off of the desert sand was starting to take on a shape and she wasn't sure if what she was seeing was real or something she simply wanted to see. '...run...' "You're not here!" Emilia screamed not believing the vision she thought she was seeing. "You're..." She just couldn't bring herself to say the words. "Why did you leave me?" '...run...' Emilia, a young woman of Dara, finds herself thrown from one situation to another. Dark elves, wererats, and Rakaskah are only the beginning of her problems. She is left without shelter, food, or water and is stranded in the wasteland desert known as the Sea of Sands. Her only hope of survival to find strength and depth of character she didn't know she had.
