Kingdom of Sun & Shadow

Since she can remember, Saba Faziri has always been curious about how she came to work in a brothel stealing coins from her customer's pockets. She has lived in the shadows most of her life, and is determined to have her day in the sun. But what happens when the light you've been fighting for is just as the cold and dark as the shadows you've been running from?

Something dark is stirring on the outskirts of her beloved home land. The war that has ravaged the world for centuries has finally reached a turning point that will change the course of the world- and this time, it's anybody's win. When she is captured by a rogue crew of pirates who want to see the beloved Sultan fall, Saba has no choice but to become a pawn in her own country's demise. Before the next battle can start, Saba must find and steal the most dangerous prize of all: a magic lamp.

Bound to a team of murderers and traitors, Saba journeys across the seas of water and sand to bring back the legendary Lost Lamp, fighting off deadly bandits and unnatural armies along the way, and spilling blood wherever she goes. But as they get closer to victory, tensions arise between members of the the crew. Loyalties are tested, alliances are forged, and lives are destroyed. Aligned with angry thieves and greedy murderers who hunger for their next kill, Saba's choices will either save her world or destroy it completely.

In times of war, there is no such thing as honor amongst thieves.
