Sand

It is not the Salt we conquer. It is ourselves.

Bird's life takes a heart-wrenching turn when she learns that Sargo has been abducted to a city eight thousand miles across the Salt. She faces a daunting realization - if she ever wants to see him again, she must embark on a treacherous voyage to get him back...

...alone.

Fueled by desperate determination, Bird sets out to rescue the friend she is falling in love with. But every step closer to Sargo unravels more unsettling revelations about his captors...and forces Bird to confront difficult truths about herself that could reshape her destiny forever.

From the author:

For fans of the Hunger Games, Gideon the Ninth, ACOTAR-level heat, and Waterworld, this series is a spicy, VERY SLOW BURN* adventure romance with the following tropes:

- forced proximity

- opposites attract

- friends-to-lovers

- first love

- trainwreck FMC

- cinnamon roll MMC with crispy edges

- one bed (in book two)

- found family

- animal companion

- fast-paced, high-stakes adventure

- mental health rep (and addiction)

- LGBTQ+ rep

*WHEN I SAY "SLOW BURN" I AM NOT PLAYING AROUND. THEY DO NOT KISS IN BOOK ONE. SPICY STUFF STILL HAPPENS, AND THE SPICE PROGRESSES THROUGHOUT THE SERIES.
