The desert winds bring the voices of the dead to those who can hear. 

Sabiya is not one of those people. 

Though she has lived in Juniper City since she was born, the desert outside is foreign to her. Her life in Juniper City is a contrast between both the brutality and the wealth of her family. 

A life where women are worth little and easily disposed.

A life Sabiya is desperate to escape. 

The desert beckons her, but she is not prepared for the sheer expanse of nothingness. Nor is she expecting the robbers who capture her when she has barely begun her journey. She is rescued, with the help of another captive’s brother.

Sabiya is returned to Juniper City with only the memory of her savior, the exotic Jadaidi warrior Uthias. A man with another secret name and a dark purpose. 

But an ancient past is about to catch up with the present, and old wars are once again igniting, where no one is safe. And the life of one young girl is important only to her. And perhaps one other.

The Daughter of Darkness will bring salvation or ruin. But the warrior Uthias is destined to destroy her before the world finds out which it will be.
