The Salt Road Caravan

About this book:

The Salt Road doesn't forgive mistakes—it preserves them. Beneath a crust of blinding white lies an ancient seabed where the wrong step releases toxic gas, where the wind sings through hexagonal plates like broken glass, and where something massive and iron-bound rides on a reinforced sled, humming with a cold that freezes breath in desert air. Kaelen has guarded caravans across the basin for years. He knows the raiders, the sinking crust, the merchants who lie about their cargo. But he's never escorted a chest that scratches from the inside, or a merchant who admits the cargo *must* keep moving—or none of them leave the basin alive.

With a tracker who hears the road's memories, a crew fracturing under heat and fear, and twenty-six chapters of escalating peril stretching toward the Gate of Reckoning, *The Salt Road Caravan* delivers fantasy at its most visceral: strange beasts, older gods, and a mystery that grows heavier with every league. The salt remembers every oath broken upon it. This caravan is carrying something that owes a debt centuries old—and the road has come to collect.
