First, the plants died.
Then the hunters.
Now the desert itself is turning against them.

When a strange poison spreads through Tajss, Lia, the settlement's overlooked young botanist, is tasked with tracking the contamination before it destroys every human, Zmaj, and Urr'ki left alive.

But the dunes hold more than sickness.

They hold him.

Rakkh, a lethal Zmaj warrior with his own sense of honor, is to escort her into the wasteland. He lives for battle, not companionship -- until this quiet, stubborn human female becomes the one person he cannot afford to lose.

Enemies stalk them beneath the sand.
Mutated beasts strike without warning.
Ancient alien technology hums beneath their feet...

And through it all, the pull between them grows hotter, sharper, impossible to resist.

Together, they must uncover the truth buried beneath the dunes -- before Tajss unleashes a threat greater than anything the three races have ever faced.
