Land of the Burning Sands

“They flung ice and earth against us. We will return wind and fire…”

In the aftermath of a brutal war, Gereint of Casmantium watches his city crumble. He knows little of how his king sought, unwisely, to use griffins as pawns in a human conflict. Yet Gereint does know that his kingdom’s defeat offers him a chance to escape from servitude.

But now that the griffins find themselves in a position of strength, they are not inclined to forgive, and the entire kingdom finds itself in deadly peril. Willing or not, Gereint will find himself caught up in a desperate struggle between the griffins and the last remaining Casmantian mage.

Time is short, for the fiery wind of the griffins is already burying Casmantium beneath burning sands…

– Janicu, Spec-Fic Romantic

“…another strong read from Neuemeier. I definitely recommend the trilogy if you like fantasy!”

– Terri, Starlight Book Reviews

“Once again, the characters are my favorite part of this book, although I was also very drawn to the way the story completely shifted gears while still grew very organically out of the events of the first book.”

– Thomas Scofield, for Rob Will Review…

“I love Neumeier’s writing style. It’s very unique and different from any other author that I’ve read recently. She just creates a great atmosphere and picture in my head, and I feel like I am right there experiencing the story.”
