But try as he might, Cairo can't seem to keep himself out of trouble. On top of all the problems he gets himself into, Cairo is thrown right into the middle of a rebellion stirring up from the shadows.
As he gets closer to finding more clues to his companion, Aerie's, lost memories, they soon come to realize that her memories might be more important than anyone could have guessed.
Some secrets may be better left buried in the sand...
