ONTHECLOUDOFBOOKS
When a powerful kingdom led by the sinister General Hakar closes in on the empire, the Sultan entrusts Zayd-a brooding bounty hunter with a sharp eye and sharper instincts-to smuggle Idris to safety. But survival is never a straight path.
Joined by Layla, an ambitious astronomer with a fiery temper; her enigmatic mother, Umm Safiyya, who can bend the will of beasts; the witty twin siblings, Rania and Rashid; and Amirah, a resourceful slave with secrets of her own, the group must navigate treacherous terrain, evade deadly traps, and outwit their cunning enemies.
Will they outsmart their enemies or will the dessert claim them as it has so many before?
