This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.At the advice of the celestial being of the mountains, Kate and her handsome dragon companion Ros find themselves on the edge of the vast Sahra desert, and on the verge of a harrowing journey.The pair join a caravan set to cross the wide swath of sands, but the pack hasn't even set out before they hear rumors of trouble. The huge worm that protects the caravans has instead turned on them, and the local commander means to find out why. On their journey they're joined by a troupe of tumblers, a witch with a secret, a beautiful woman with a thing for Ros, and a handsome youth with a death wish.Together the crowd cross the desert and find themselves battling not only the elements, but the local Pactus, a fine group of people who have a taste for exotic flesh. The bane of the marauders makes its appearance and hell rises from the sands as the group fights for survival, and Kate fights for a little alone time with her devilishly seductive dragon friend.
