The final instalment in the Realm of the Prophets Trilogy by philosophical fiction writer E J Doble...

Five years have passed, since the people of Arbash founded their new home out on the desert sands. Five years of challenges and dreams, which led the former citizens to a prosperous new life. And My'ala - a Prophet, a leader, and now a young mother - stands at the centre of it all, grateful for everything that has come to pass.

Wondering: what are we, and what does the future hold?

The question is one that she's never found an answer to, and is reflected in the inquisitive eyes of her young daughter, wrangling with her own place in the world. It's a question that takes My'ala on a journey of self-reflection, out across the dunes afar, where she happens upon a great beast of the Unknown with scaly skin and shimmering fire.

Their name is Nehebu the Sand-King, the dragon prophet of ancient times, and they come with an offer to help her find answers.

And a terrible warning of what is to come...
