Empire of Sand
A nobleman’s daughter with magic in her blood. An empire built on the dreams of enslaved gods.
The Amrithi are outcasts; nomads descended of desert spirits, they are coveted and persecuted throughout the Empire for the power in their blood. Mehr is the illegitimate daughter of an imperial governor and an exiled Amrithi mother she can barely remember, but whose face and magic she has inherited. Unbeknownst to her, she can manipulate the dreams of the gods to alter the face of the world.
When Mehr’s power comes to the attention of the Emperor’s most feared mystics, she is coerced into their service, as they are determined to harness her magic for the glory of the Empire. She must use every ounce of will, subtlety, and power she possesses to resist the mystics’ cruel agenda — and should she fail, the gods themselves may awaken seeking vengeance...

Tasha Suri
Tasha Suri crafts stories that bridge worlds, blending lush landscapes with complex emotional landscapes in her evocative fantasy novels. Drawing inspiration from her British-Indian heritage, her works transport readers into realms where magic, power, and history intertwine in unforgettable ways. With a deep love for South Asian culture and history, she weaves narratives that are as rich in atmosphere as they are in characters' inner struggles and triumphs.
Born and raised in London, Tasha's early years were spent navigating the space between two cultures—immersed in the traditions of her Punjabi roots while simultaneously engaging with the modern world around her. This unique perspective informs much of her storytelling, where the clash of old and new, tradition and change, is often at the heart of the plot. Her love of history, especially South Asian history, shines through in the intricate world-building and themes of power, resistance, and destiny that thread through her books.
