The Story of the Drowning Sands of G’desh
Two religions have waged war for centuries. While the Khalifate controls the Bronze City, forcing the Followers into exile for over two hundred years, the Followers have found a questionable ally capable of turning the tables. These are the tales of three souls navigating the era the Sands of G'desh drown in blood.
Kessem, a young warrior, is demoted to scholar. However, numerous players in a larger game use him as a chess piece. His loyalty and sense of what is right will be tested regularly as he struggles to give his family the best life possible.
The teenager, Dameneh, pines for a woman who left his tiny oasis two years ago. However, at sixteen he is chosen by the One to become a holy warrior. Now he must take on the life of a nomad and with that the unwanted responsibilities of fate.
Azasheer is a mysterious assassin capable of wielding fire as a weapon. He works for money, caring little about the tyrannical Khalifate or the struggling rebels. As he continues his work, taking numerous contracts from the rebels, he wonders if there is more to life than money.
Meanwhile, a mysterious northern empire makes its first of many moves to subjugate an entire continent to its will. G'desh only sees the first fleeting glimpse of a greater war.
These are the tales of the Desert of G'desh, the first volume in the Scrolls of Chaos and Order.

"Two religions have waged war for centuries."
Well, I think I've found one of my favourite books of the year! What a great fantasy, and one with some great characters. My favourite characters were, Kessem, the warrior and Azasheer, the assassin. They felt relatable, and ones I can not wait to find more about.
Paul's writing is amazing, the description in this book was well written and well thought. The story is truly something. I don't want to give spoilers so I'm trying not to write it. But I wish I could rave about this book. But you need to read it for yourself.
I would recommend and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
