Description

In a desert realm where ancient secrets stir beneath golden sands, The Queen of Sands unravels a tale of love, betrayal, and redemption.

Three centuries ago, a prince defied his kingdom to pursue a forbidden romance, igniting a chain of events that shattered alliances and left a legacy of sorrow. Now, Esther, a spirited young woman from a remote village, is haunted by vivid dreams of a desperate woman pleading for forgiveness. When the dreams lead her to uncover an ancient curse, Esther embarks on a perilous journey into the heart of the desert, determined to uncover the truth and confront her destiny.

As Esther navigates treacherous landscapes, unravels forgotten prophecies, and faces the pain of long-buried sins, she must find the strength to forgive and the courage to reshape a fractured kingdom. Rich with world-building, unforgettable characters, and themes of love, sacrifice, and resilience, The Queen of Sands offers a gripping dual-timeline adventure that will captivate the imagination.

Step into the sands, where every secret has its price-and every choice shapes the future.

This was such an enjoyable fantasy! I really liked the desert atmosphere and followingEsther’s journey in discovering the truth that an ancient curse set’s her on. She is such a strong character as she faces prophesies and secrets. This book has dual-timelines, which really helps add to the story, along with vivid world building.
