Overview
"The Burning Sands' features two distinct races locked in a simmering, centuries-long conflict. Spara is a half-wind, the offspring of those two races: the human-like dathrals and the subha, a race of wind-wielding, genderless people. Raised among the subha but too dathral bodied to truly belong, Spara lives isolated and alienated. Shi dedicates xyr life to serving Kingship, the ruler of xyr land, in hopes of earning a place within subha society. Yet obedience to Kingship leads to harm for those Spara holds dear. Spara must decide—obey Kingship to find a place within subha society, or risk death by helping dathrals, whom xe has always rejected, including family xe thought xe didn't have. Spara's choice could lead to the deaths of those xe loves or to war between xyr peoples." -- Abstract
