The City of Shifting Sands is screaming... and only a Whisperer can hear its death knell.
In the mesmerizing metropolis of Amaranthine, where buildings ripple with a life of their own, Zahra, a gifted Whisperer forced to conceal her painful connection to the city, toils as a Council scribe. But when catastrophic, unnatural Shifts begin to tear through the districts, leaving death in their wake, she's reluctantly partnered with the steadfast Council enforcer Rami to uncover the cause.
Their initial antagonism sparks into a fierce alliance as they follow the faint whispers of stolen artifacts and a conspiracy that snakes through the highest echelons of the Council. Zahra's bond with the city intensifies, its whispers escalating into agonizing screams that threaten to overwhelm her, while Rami finds his unwavering loyalty tested by damning evidence of the Council's darkest secrets. United by a shared trauma and a burgeoning attraction, they must race against time to unravel the mystery behind the escalating chaos before the sentient entity beneath Amaranthine is irrevocably damaged, and the city they both call home crumbles into ruin.
Whispers in the Sand is the enthralling second book in The City of Shifting Sands series, seamlessly blending urban fantasy, gripping mystery, and a captivating slow-burn romance.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
