The Judgment of the Sand

This is a story of friendship, love, revenge and hate.
We are in a drifting world that survives thanks to the Domains: vast urban conglomerates protected by a caste of mages who, with their power, guarantee security and order. Different races coexist within them, but life remains hard and social mobility is difficult to achieve. The only way out is to become famous or rich, thereby earning a place in a society that rewards both inventiveness and ruthlessness.

Void is a tavern boy torn between the desire to leave in search of a better life and the emotional ties that keep him in the small wooden-and-smoke world of his inn. When an unexpected event rips him from his routine, Void is thrown into a violent reality of blood, power games and cutthroat competition.

As he struggles to survive and make a name for himself, he discovers that the world hides secrets deeper than he ever imagined. To uncover them he will have to face numerous challenges and, above all, dig into himself.

For those who love individual stories set in dark fantasy atmospheres, with magical intrigues, conflicted characters and revelations that overturn every certainty, this book is a gripping journey toward the truth - and toward one's own identity.
