Sahara Acwellan was born to rule someday...but you can't rule a planet that no longer exists. When the sacred ritual of her desert city ends in death, Sahara alone is left with the gift…or the curse. She can read the patterns in the sand, the rhythms of time and fate. But her warning comes too late, and the brutal galactic regime known as the Drakkin descends on her world in fire and blood. Everything she loves is destroyed. Her home. Her family. Her future. Haunted by grief, Sahara is recruited by the Shell—a secretive assassin order sworn to avenge her people. But revenge has a price, and shifting into a weapon will cost more than she ever imagined. Especially when betrayal runs deeper than loyalty, and the war she’s fighting threatens to unravel the fabric of the galaxy itself. This isn’t just a beginning. It’s a transformation.And not everyone survives the Shift. Perfect for fans of Dune, An Ember in the Ashes, and fast-paced space operas with soul.
