There’s a whole world outside the Facilities—humans that have grown into warriors, mermaids, dragons and more—and yet Alice finds herself drawn to one girl amidst the desert lands.

The sands of time know not of oblivion; a connection forged under the desert sun is not so easily forgotten.
It’s been two years, and Alice thinks she should be allowed to attend international negotiations with Victoria. What could possibly go wrong?
Turns out the Empire of Zerzura is starkly different to her home country. However, Alice’s frown over not being let into the meeting room soon turns upside down when she meets a certain haunting beauty; the catalyst of incoming doom amid desert dunes.

Another aspect of these stories that I really enjoy is the deviation from conventionality, as the story is taken in directions that I have rarely, if at all, seen in other media. But even for all its uniqueness, the world and events feel fairly real and believable—as much as you can manage in a fantasy world filled with terrifyingly powerful magic, at least. All things considered, the author is clearly creative and an amazing storyteller, which has shone through in all their work. I highly recommend this series.

What seals it for me is how this thing zigzags into wild, “wait, I’ve never seen that before in a fantasy book” territory, but it all lands feeling real despite the fantasy element. The author’s got that rare creative spark and killer instinct for spinning yarns. If you’re sleeping on this series, fix that—highly recommend diving in. Gimme Book 3 yesterday!
