At the Crossroads of Tomorrow
Being one of the youngest of the Sua royals never stopped Saritrah from scheming to take the throne. But violent insurrectionists shattered those plans when they stormed the palace and decimated her family.
In the years since, she has amassed an army and will return to claim her crown. However, Ashur, her one remaining sibling, has done the same, and she must act soon if she's to secure her prize before he snatches it from her claws.
After Ashur razes the Temple of Yshuld, the surviving Seers promise her the power to ensure victory. But it will mean abandoning her legion to venture into the endless desert and locate a lost city.
Soon, however, she suspects that none of the women are who they claim to be, even to each other. One woman cryptically alludes to a paradisical past; another awakens in the night plagued by dreams of a frightening future; the last woman never speaks. But the more she questions her new companions' motives, the more she must question her own.
Is the Oracle's vision of calamity an omen of what will happen if she fails to claim her crown? Or a promise of what will come if she succeeds?

This book was made without the use of generative AI. All cover artists, cover designers, interior designers, and illustrators were vetted thoroughly by me and recommended to me by other trustworthy authors in the community. The author is also dedicated to using tools free from generative AI features. The author uses Scrivener, Plottr, Aeon Timeline, Campfire Writing, and Novlr as their main tools and as of the writing of this statement, those tools did not have AI features and should that change in the future, the author will re-evaluate their workflow and make the appropriate changes to keep their work free from genAI contamination. For a full list of what the author uses in their process and how please see the tools and disclosures page.
