The desert is Khamisi's only home, yet the decades of no rain have driven all signs of life from it. When the nomad finally resigns herself a fate of scrap jobs and begging, she encounters her way out.
Khamisi is hired by a charismatic foreigner to guide him through the desert in search of a rumored treasure. Something is amiss with the man. Nikias doesn't sleep. He speaks as if in conversation with the sky. Even more bizarre are the missing belongings, symbols sewn onto her clothes and traced in sand, bruises on his body.
It doesn't take long to uncover his little treasure and with it, his secret. Now Khamisi is trapped between two choices: die in that cave or join Nikias' sinister plan.
The clock has been set; the weathers shifting with whispers of an illegitimate throne and smokes of war. Khamisi must play Nikias' game if she wants to live. But she'll do anything to survive, even if that means destroying everything she's known.

Cairo
[[ The first book of the rewrite is out~ Check it out on my page! ]] Cairo is a desert country dominated by fire magic. The Government is considered corrupt, the people are unhappy, and a rebellion is stirring in the depths that's set on shaking the country to its core. Living with the citizens are creatures called Kleptos--card spirits who control powerful magic. Among them is the Fire Kleptos, Aerie. Her Pyrroh is the Fire Mage, Cairo, the boy genius named after the country. Tagging along with them is their adventure-seeking friend, Cane. Aerie can't remember her past. There's something about her that's different, and if there's one thing for sure, it's that she's no ordinary Kleptos. Cane wants truth and justice to prevail. The first step is getting through to the Government, but it's torn apart just like the country. Cairo is helping Aerie gain her memories. While he travels around the country in search of clues, he's thrown right into the middle of all the trouble. But Aerie might just be the key to something much larger than anyone could have imagined. As Cairo continues to search for her memories, a past full of secrets is brought to life that might just change the course of history.Complete
Against the Wind
In Tehazihbith, imperfection is a myth. Blessed with divine power, the city's miracle rivers overflow with dust, a glittering, colourful cascade, and its people weave life-giving magic. Imperfection belongs to the beasts and the beastfolk: strange, violent beings that prowl outside the city's protection. When Rayanah Kel-Jabir stumbles upon a wounded, dying beastfolk boy, she's faced with a choice. As a young mage and wielder of dust, trained to defend Tehazihbith from the beasts' mindless attacks, saving the boy's life goes against everything she's ever known--yet for Raya, her perfect nature is a cage, and choices are rare. The more she learns of the boy and his people, the more cracks begin to show in her city's sacred harmony. The winds are shifting, and they sing of blood, spilled from beasts and mages alike. The trouble is hearing the warning notes before it's too late. --◦༄ؘ◦-- ◦ Beautifully illustrated cover by @ToWolfKin ◦
