In Eoden City, where relentless sands devour the land outside, Shen Auger is the reluctant heir to a dark legacy. His father Eoden, revered as the immortal Vessel of the Gods, holds sway over a dying world. But when Shen’s mother reveals whispers of hidden secrets that lie in the blistering wasteland, Shen’s sheltered life unravels.
Fuelled by a burning need for answers, Shen embarks on a perilous journey beyond the city’s walls, into the unforgiving Desolation. Alongside his fierce friend Griss, he encounters a Darkness that will not be sated until it consumes all.
What readers are saying
An assured debut with a remarkably solid and poignant denouement. The world the author has built is credible, and the story is chock full of all the tropes and intrigue you’d want in a fantasy.

I found myself unable to put it down. It’s very immersive and emotional, and I’m annoyed that I now really want to know what happens next. Could not stop reading, already miss the dragons.

This was a very fun YA (definitely YA) dark fantasy.
Packed with creativity and unexpected twists, and I’m a sucker for Eragon-style dragon bonds (again, with a twist).
Plus, here there be darkness. So much darkness.

Fantastic world building, great story, and an all round great YA dark fantasy. I loved the magic system of this world — emotions.
