What is the weight of a forgotten life?

In the sun-scorched empire of Meridian, memory is currency, and peace is purchased with pieces of the soul. Elara is a ghost in her own world, a water-carrier haunted by a past she cannot remember. Her only tether to a forgotten brother is a single, faded blue bead. But when a vision of the sky cracking open brands her with a terrifying power, she becomes the target of the Hollow King's ruthless Silencers—hunters who silence prophets to preserve his terrible peace.

Her only hope is Kaelen, a deadly Sand Wraith who steals memories for the king. He is a man bound by a tragic vow: to save his comatose sister, he must drain the past from others. Tasked with capturing Elara's vision, he is shocked to discover she is more than a seer—she is a Sand-Speaker, a wielder of an ancient, elemental magic he thought was extinct.

Thrown into a fragile alliance, they race through lethal deserts and forgotten ruins, pursued by forces that want Elara's secret buried. To survive, they must unravel the truth behind the king's tyranny and the catastrophic prophecy only she can see. But the darkest secret lies in their own tangled pasts—a betrayal that could shatter their trust and unleash the very apocalypse they seek to prevent.
