The treasured anadi who must learn what it means to choose... the mysterious chenji whose magic comes at a terrible price... the jeweler who finds that love requires facing the unknowable future... and the Claw of the empire who discovers that loyalty has limits. Clays Upon the Sands, volume 2 in the Jokka Clays series, collects seven more stories of the Jokka of Ke Bakil, an alien species with two chances to change sexes: female, neuter or male... a species where destiny and biology intertwine in ways both beautiful and heartbreaking. Whether it's accepting an unwanted Turning, defying an empire's cruelty, or learning that some truths can only be spoken in the dark, each Jokkad must navigate the complex currents of identity, duty, and desire.

Seven voices. Seven transformations. A world where nothing is certain but change itself. Come explore.
