Empress of Dust

In a desert besieged by dangerous creatures, Harvard, a small and anxious scavenger from the city of Harvard, faces life-threatening threats from desertwalkers and his own limitations. After a fateful mistake separates him from his crew, he must unravel the mysteries of the desert beasts to survive and navigate a critical choice involving alliances with the very monsters that inhabit the dusts. As he becomes unexpectedly involved in a rescue mission, Harvard's bravery is tested in ways he never imagined, with the fate of both creatures and humans hanging in the balance.
