Desert of the Soul
Stranded thousands of miles form their companions, Jax, Oracle and Sehran are alone, cut off from all support, and the only thing they have in plenty, are enemies.
Stranded on a hostile continent with only his companions, Jax faces a stark reality: all the power of his newfound crown means nothing in a land where no one knows his name—and wouldn't care if they did. With time running out and shadows gathering, he needs to carve out more than just survival from this foreign soil.
The Tower of Gaij looms on the horizon, an ancient fortress of power that could be their salvation. But in these lands, nothing worth taking comes without blood. As rival claimants gather and forgotten powers stir in the darkness, Jax will have to embrace the ruthless lessons the UnderVerse has taught him—or lose everything he's fought to protect.
It turns out building an empire was the easy part. Keeping alive long enough to return to it? That's going to take something darker than mere leadership.
In a land where every shadow hides a blade, even a prince must remember: crowns make excellent targets.
Jez Cajiao
Jez Cajiao's journey to becoming a full-time author is as unexpected and adventurous as the stories he now tells. Born in 1980 in Hartlepool, UK, Jez’s early life didn’t follow the traditional path that one might expect for a writer. Instead, he found himself working in his family’s catering business from the age of 11, and later, trying his hand at a variety of other careers—from bar work in Greece to welding. It wasn’t until a series of health challenges forced a career shift that Jez discovered his true calling: writing.
