Frittstående første bok i fantasyverden inspirert av fordums India. Her er magi en dans, og ørkenånder svever på en storm av sovende guders drømmer. Mehr lever i skillet mellom to kulturer. Som datter av en adelsmann har hun beskyttelse, men hun har sin mors magi i blodet; forbudt magi. I en verden der løfter er bindende må hun trå varsomt og velge sine ord med omhu.

A NOBLEMAN'S DAUGHTER WITH MAGIC IN HER BLOOD
AN EMPIRE BUILT ON THE DREAMS OF ENSLAVED GODS
Mehr is a girl trapped between two cultures. Her father comes from the ruling classes of the empire, but her mother's people were outcasts, Amrithi nomads who worshipped the spirits of the sands. Caught one night performing these forbidden rites, Mehr is brought to the attention of the Emperor's most feared mystics, who try to force her into their service by way of an arranged marriage. If she fails in their bidding, the gods themselves may awaken and seek vengeance...
