A prophecy, whispered through the ages, binds her to a destiny she never wanted. She must choose: protect her brother, the only family she has left, or embrace a fate that could save or destroy them all.

The Day Blazers, a ruthless force with blades thirsty for blood, hunt her across the unforgiving desert. And from the ruins of the old world, monstrous creatures rise, their hunger as ancient as the wasteland itself.

Can Nour find the strength to stand against the darkness and save her people, or will the desert claim them all, burying their dreams beneath a blanket of sand and grit?"An exciting post-apocalyptic fantasy adventure!" ?????????"Wow, one of the best dystopian/post-apocalyptic books I’ve ever read." - Goodreads reviewer ??????????The Desert Shadows Saga is a completed fantasy post-apocalyptic trilogy that follows Nour and her brother Malik's struggle for survival in the scorching desert of Aridex many years after the fall of the world.

Spring 2024 BookFest Award Winner for "Dystopian - Viruses, Plagues & Zombies"

War grips East Asia, and a desperate dictator lashes out in his final hours. Five months after the guns fall silent, the first signs of another, more terrible war appear—a silent invasion fought not on land, in the air, or at sea, but within our bodies. All of our bodies.For most, the incubation period lasts a few months, but for others the fuse smolders, inching ever closer to the moment when the viral time bomb finally detonates. No one knows when they, or the person next to them, will descend into a fit of fevered madness, but it

will

happen. When the symptoms erupt, friends become enemies, lovers become threats, and those left standing become judge, jury, and executioner.The lucky few who survive the pathogen’s onslaught—and the secrets locked within their blood—are called to “Sanctuary,” a CDC fallback location in Missouri. Sam Irving, Kenny Bristol, and a small band of survivors, must get one of the lucky ones—a little girl named Mycah Carpenter—to Sanctuary before the hunters born of a broken world drag them down.And before they—at any moment—succumb to the fury.
