A new epic fantasy novel

Three women are violently plucked from their home worlds and brought to the desert kingdom of Al’idris by unknown forces.

Each appearing on the same unrecognizable dirt road, they band together to search for answers and a way home. Ell, the young forester, has a wound which will not heal and hears unsettling whispers. Hellion, priestess of the battle god Karadin, has lost contact with her god and now contends with the local religion, that of the Lady of Life and Death. Desde, an enchantress of high society, is forced to adapt to the demanding life of an unwitting adventurer as her magic now slowly drains her life force.

The women's talents quickly garner the attention of the Queen of Al’idris. They strike a bargain to aid her with problems facing her young and precarious kingdom in exchange for information and help to enable their return home. They butt heads, form friendships, play with magic, flirt with death, fall in love and go through frightful transformations on their quest to unravel a forty year-old secret at the heart of the destruction of the former empire. Answers are hard to find in Al’idris, but they are there, if one is persistent enough.
