Drought’s End

In the lethal Razor-Wastes, survival demands every drop of water and every ounce of trust. Garek, the last ageless sentinel bound by ancient oath, must escort a naive prince across three hundred miles of blade-sharp silica dunes. Kensa, a cynical desert fighter, takes the contract to save her starving clan.  

Forced together by pursuit and thirst, they clash at every turn. Garek follows rigid duty. Kensa trusts only herself. When trackers close in and water runs low, every shared shelter and silent wound-tending pulls them closer.  

The desert strips away their defenses. Competence becomes desire. Proximity becomes need. Open-door intimacy ignites under the threat of death.  

Enemies to lovers in a brutal survival romance. If they cannot choose each other over duty and the sands, the wastes will claim them both.
