Sandstorm

About this book

Cephas has no memories of how he came to fight in the gladiatorial arena or the floating earthmote called the Island of the Free. All he knows of the world beyond, he has gleaned from stories the master of the games reads to his followers. From a distance Corvus Nightfeather and his Cirus of Wonders have watched the Island of the Free, piecing together its weaknesses and its defenses. And watched with interest the young gensai gladiator whose feet have never touched the earth. For the first time Cephas can harness his inborn powers and control the stones and dirt beneth his feet. But Corvus has plans for Cephas that extend beyond the circus’s shows.
