Wings of the Storm (The Dunes of Aelaron Book 1)

Description

Vayo, palace servant, is selected as the personal attendant to King Nabonidus, the man who conquered, murdered, and enslaved her tribe. After witnessing his savagery, she flees to the only place his guards won’t look: the forbidden temple. Buried beneath the rubble of her tribe’s broken past, Vayo stumbles upon a beautiful warrior, with her arms wrapped around a shimmering, blue egg.

Then the egg cracks.

Unique world-building, rich mythology, meddlesome gods, rivals to friends, slave to hero arc, strong female lead, and a massive STORM-BIRD!
