Black Talons: Desert Recon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798184625294)

The desert does not forgive. It remembers.
Beyond the sea lies Nezre, a kingdom without a king-where ruthless warlords carve empires from sand, ancient cities bury their secrets beneath shifting dunes, and every oasis demands a price.
When Raven Starflower convinces a grieving king to turn away from war, she believes she has spared thousands of innocent lives. Instead, she leads herself and the Black Talons into a land feared even by those who claim to know it.
In Nezre, mercy is mistaken for weakness, trust is rarer than water, and the desert watches every traveler who dares cross it. But the sands hide more than armies and forgotten ruins.
The stars no longer tell the truth. Whispers rise from beneath the dunes. Ancient shadows move where no living creature should.
And every time Raven reaches for the divine power gifted by Madori, something deep below the desert stirs-as though it has been waiting for her.
Drawn into a deadly web of betrayal, impossible alliances, and an ancient mystery older than history itself, Raven discovers that her greatest strength may also be the key to awakening something the world was never meant to remember.
Because the greatest danger in Nezre isn't dying.
It's being remembered.
Black Talons: Desert Recon is an epic fantasy of found family, slow-burning romance, ancient gods, political intrigue, and breathtaking adventure-where every grain of sand hides a secret, and every secret comes with a price.
The desert has been waiting for a thousand years.
Now it knows her name.
