Sands is like Dune meets Game of Thrones!
This is such a great book cover, very intriguing!
I'm delighted to be able to include Rosi Russell's Caretaker which includes a world so deftly described that it blooms before you as if you'd stepped into an IMAX theater, not just turned a page in a book. The quality of her writing far exceeds the genre. This is literature.
