About

THE SAND AND SILVER CYCLE Book One: A Lullaby of Sand and Silver Schedule: Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Softness gets people killed. Ashrat learned that before the contract that cost her an eye. A teenage Qazrat assassin, Ashrat survives by striking first and trusting no one. But when a palace murder goes wrong, guards and constructs drive her into the wilderness, wounded and half-blind, with only her mother’s lullaby left to keep her breathing. At sunrise, an ancient Sage named Ithriam finds her, heals her, and offers the one thing Ashrat fears more than violence: kindness with no price attached. Under Ithriam’s care, Ashrat becomes his apprentice and enters the Ankhmere Archive, a legendary library-city built around a Vault of cursed artifacts and sealed dangers. But when a coordinated heist breaches the Vault, something ancient escapes—and something worse bonds with Ashrat’s blood. Tazkhar al-Khurūj, a sentient silver weapon, grants her power under one brutal law: use it for cruelty, vanity, or vengeance alone, and it will consume her from within. With rival Sages and hidden factions circling the Archive’s secrets, Ashrat must learn control before the weapon inside her turns survival into self-destruction. A Lullaby of Sand & Silver is a cozy-but-dangerous fantasy adventure about found family, ancient relics, living weapons, and a feral girl learning that power means nothing without choice.
