Alone on the quarantined planet Dakun, she scrapes out an existence beneath a dead sky, her only companion a strange glowing orb she found buried beneath the dunes. The Galactic Council has declared her world a no-go zone. To them, it’s a sealed grave.When a forgotten signal activates for the first time in four hundred cycles, it reaches the halls of the Galactic Academy, where Professor Lu’Ka—an obsessive scholar of human myth—begins to unravel a mystery the galaxy tried to erase.

To the last city, I am an outcast. To the Searing Expanse, I am a listener. I survive in a world scorched by two suns by listening to a secret song only I can hear—the Sandsong. It's a lonely conversation with the desert itself, a constant whisper of memories that guides me to water and warns me of the monsters sleeping beneath my feet. My world is simple, harsh, and my own. But one day, the song is interrupted. Buried in the dunes, I find an object that doesn't belong—a crystal tear that holds a silent, alien power. It doesn't sing with the memories of the sand; it hums with the echo of a different reality. Touching it is a mistake, an act that awakens a nightmare from the deep and shatters the fragile peace of my existence. In a desperate moment of terror, my secret power and the crystal's strange energy collide. I am not saved. I am stolen. Torn from the only world I've ever known, I land in a place of impossible green and strange skies. Here, the sand beneath my feet is different. It doesn't just whisper memories; it waits for a command. My journey is no longer about survival. It's about discovering why the Sand Girl was chosen.
