Description
xAntia, the princess of two continents, is sent by her stern aunt/regent on an ambassadorial mission to a desert land. The haughty princess disdains the simple ways of the people, but her pride urges her onto a desert caravan, riding a camel-like creature. Her dignity is tested further by a sardonic prince who is obliged to show her his country. After enduring a nearly deadly sandstorm, she has a vision of under ground lakes. Spies from her own country try to use her as a pawn to steal the desert oil.
She begins to respect the desert and its people and thwarts the spies, led by her wicked aunt, in time to save the secret of the oil and water lakes. She meets the mystic Sandwriter, who has devoted an unnaturally long life to protecting the desert and its people.
