From debut author Deborah A. Wolf comes an epic fantasy in the tradition of Guy Gavriel Kay and Jacqueline Carey. “A world of large-scale epic fantasy... This is a rare find and not to be missed.” New York Times bestselling author Barb Hendee. Far below the desert, the Earth Dragon slumbers fitfully. From the darkness of her dreams come whispers of war… and death. Sulema is a newly minted warrior and a true Ja’Akari—a daughter of the unforgiving desert. But her people are fading from the world.

And, she soon finds, there are some who would have the dragon wake, so they might laugh as the world burns.
