Cambria, a young woman with no memory of her past, is discovered among the ashes of a slaughtered tribe and taken in by the Raviers family. As she seeks her place in a world divided by kingdoms, magic, and ancient gods, she becomes entangled in struggles far greater than she could have imagined.
Pursued by Jaicyn, a ruthless mage serving the enigmatic Shadow King, Cambria must confront secrets of the gods, prophecies, and the truth of her own identity. Torn between love, duty, and survival, she faces devastating losses and impossible choices, journeying through new cities, across seas, and cursed realms, where time and space fracture.
At its heart, Desiccate, the first installment in the Gates of Destiny Series, is a sweeping fantasy of memory, destiny, and sacrifice; where Cambria learns that the power to reshape the world may rest within her, even as forces conspire to claim it for themselves.
