In the city of Sharakhai, Ceda, like so many in the city, prays for the downfall of the cruel immortal Kings of Sharakhai. Then on the holy night, when the powerful and wretched creatures known as the Asirim wander the city, taking tribute in order to protect the Kings, one of them tells Ceda the origin of their dark bargain. This dangerous secret may be the very key she needs to throw off the iron grip the Kings have had over Sharakhai. This is the first book in 'The Song of Shattered Sands' trilogy - an epic fantasy in the vein of 'A Thousand and One Nights'.
