Publisher's Synopsis
In the heart of the endless Saeridian Desert lies a kingdom of shifting sands and ancient legends. For centuries, travelers have whispered of a cursed figure who rules over the barren expanse: the Demon King of the Desert. A tyrant shrouded in mystery, he is said to wield forbidden magic and command an army of shadows that rise with the desert winds.
When young scholar Kael Miron ventures into the desert seeking the lost city of Azhra, he expects to uncover ruins and artifacts-not to be caught in a deadly game of power. Captured by the Demon King, Kael finds himself a pawn in a conflict far greater than he imagined. For the king is not merely a monster but a man bound by a terrible curse, his humanity eroded by centuries of isolation and betrayal.
As Kael is drawn deeper into the Demon King's world, he discovers truths buried in the sands-secrets of an ancient betrayal, a kingdom's fall, and a love that defied the gods. To survive, Kael must navigate the treacherous politics of the desert clans, uncover the origins of the curse, and face the Demon King's wrathful power. But when the lines blur between enemy and ally, Kael must choose: escape with his life, or help the Demon King reclaim his lost humanity-and risk the rise of a force that could destroy them all.
The Demon King of the Desert is a sweeping fantasy of magic, redemption, and the enduring fight between light and shadow. It is a tale of forbidden power, desperate hope, and the resilience of the human spirit.
