Publisher's Synopsis
Beckie Sverdupe, typical high-school student and accomplished equestrienne, has a best friend, an annoying younger brother, and no plans beyond homework and the upcoming pep rally. Then, she is kidnapped to be buried alive. Her strength and resourcefulness impresses the enigmatic young mercenary, Ian Jamse, but she was just a job. Sandfall is a Young Adult thriller, and part of the Mercenaries series. It includes real language. Bonus: An excerpt from Allure, the first book in the Mercenaries series, is included. Publishing history: Sandfall was originally titled "Black Sky, Dry Rain," and part of Mercenaries: A Love Story. This edition is retitled, and heavily edited from that version.
