When Eric is ripped from his own world and cast into a brutal desert realm, survival is his only instinct. Water is scarce, storms are lethal, and every step across the sand feels like a mistake he may not live to regret.
Jayesh knows the desert too well. A young nomad with royal blood he never asked for, he's being hunted by his own father's forces for what he represents-a future that threatens the throne. Bound by circumstance and necessity, Eric and Jayesh flee across an unforgiving land where politics, faith, and ancient magic are as dangerous as the blades that follow them.
As the king's forces pursue them across the barren sand, defying the will of Scarab himself, Jayesh and Eric's journey carries them through the underground, sandstorms haunted by banshees, and toward a cursed oasis whispered about in legend. Each trial forces them to confront who they are, who they were meant to be, and how much choice they truly have.
As the desert closes in and destiny looms, Jayesh must decide whether to claim his fate-or run from it forever. And Eric must face a harder truth: this world's magic may not let him leave unchanged, if it lets him leave at all.
The Cursed Oasis is Part One of The Desert Duology, a young adult epic fantasy of survival, faith, ancient magic, and the cost of becoming who you never planned to be.
