[Scarab Prophecies 01] • Lioness of The Dust

In a bleak, lawless world, magic can be used for good… or evil…

Suleizon always tries to do the right thing. But when the djinni’s North African city is ransacked by a warlord, his magic can only do so much. He saves only a small band of children, barely making it to a refugee camp beside a desert oasis. After he foils a mysterious kidnapping attempt, Suleizon realizes the camp’s leader may not be telling him the whole truth…

In a quest to save the other children from his city, the djinni must trust his new allies. To complete his mission, he’ll need to break into the very heart of the warlord’s stronghold. But saving the children and himself might take a lot more than magic…

Lioness of the Desert is the first entrancing tale in the Scarab Prophecies series, a saga of dystopian fantasy novels. If you like exotic locales, magical realism, and original characters, then you’ll love KK Lautner’s spellbinding story.
