Description
The fourth book in The Song of Shattered Sands series—an epic fantasy with a desert setting, filled with rich worldbuilding and pulse-pounding action.
When a battle to eradicate the Thirteenth Tribe goes awry, the kingdoms bordering the desert metropolis of Sharakhai see the city as weak and ripe for conquest. Çeda, now leader of the Shieldwives, a band of skilled desert swordswomen, hopes to use the growing chaos to gain freedom for Sehid-Alaz, the ancient, undying king of her people. Freeing him is only the beginning, however. Like all the people of her tribe on that fateful night four centuries earlier, Sehid-Alaz was cursed, turned into an asir, a twisted, miserable creature beholden to the kings of Sharakhai—to truly free her king, Çeda must break the chains that bind him.
As Sharakhai’s enemies close in and the assault on the city begins, Çeda works feverishly to unlock the mysteries of the asirim’s curse. But danger lies everywhere. Enemy forces roam the city; the Blade Maidens close in on her; her own father, one of the kings of Sharakhai, wants Çeda to hang. Worst of all, the gods themselves have begun to take notice of Çeda’s pursuits.
When the combined might of Sharakhai and the desert gods corner the survivors of the Thirteenth Tribe in a mountain fastness, the very place that nearly saw their annihilation centuries ago, Çeda knows the time has come. She was once an elite warrior in service to the kings of Sharakhai. She has been an assassin in dark places. A weapon poised to strike from the shadows. A voice from the darkness, striving to free her people.
No longer.
Now she's going to lead.
The age of the Kings is coming to an end . . .

- bioText: Bradley P. Beaulieu fell in love with fantasy from the moment he began reading The Hobbit in third grade. While Bradley earned a degree in computer science and engineering and worked in the information technology field for years, he could never quite shake his desire to explore other worlds. He began writing his first fantasy novel in college. It was a book he later trunked, but it was a start, a thing that proved how much he enjoyed the creation of stories. It made him want to write more. He went on to write The Lays of Anuskaya series as well as The Song of Shattered Sands series. He has published work in the Realms of Fantasy Magazine, Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show, Writers of the Future 20, and several anthologies. He has won the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Award and earned a Gemmell Morningstar Award nomination

Çeda, now leader of the Shieldwives, a band of skilled desert swordswomen, hopes to use the growing chaos to gain freedom for Sehid-Alaz, the ancient, undying king of her people.

Beaulieu follows A Veil of Spears with a tangled tale of warfare, demons, and intrigue. Many of the evil kings of the city of Sharakhai are dead, but the survivors continue to hold power and battle the forces arrayed against them. In the Great Shangazi Desert, Çeda, her former Blade Maiden sisters, and Shieldwives from the tribes struggle to free damned souls from the kings’ enslavement. Elsewhere in the sands, Brama needs the help of the demonic ehrekh, Rümayesh, to heal the invading army of Mirea from a plague sent by the kings, while Emre travels the wastes to expand the alliance of the tribes and make peace with the Malasani troops who sail to attack Sharakhai. In the city itself, magic wielders Alina, Davud, and Ramahd make plans to defy the kings as King Ilhsan plots against his fellow monarchs for his own purposes. Beaulieu richly imagines several multifaceted societies, a variety of arcane systems, and a host of supernatural entities. Series fans will delight in these passionate characters and their continued fight to liberate their city.
