Awakening

"You will live, with me, in the Black Tower, as my prisoner, my Bharavi, my wife. You will bear me a son, and he'll grow, as a Rashai who will return to raid your land."

He slaughtered her entire family. He holds eight thousand prisoners hostage to keep her alive. She lives every breath to see him die. She remains the only thing in life he fails to conquer…and wants to. Should one of them succeed, it will change the outcome of a centuries-long war between a nomadic race and an empire.

But they're not the only ones holding the fire to light or burn down the peninsula.

A teenage girl who can't fight will wage war against an empire. A slave male escort will rise to become her deadliest weapon. An oracle will guide them to tragic destinations with their eyes closed. A powerless prince's decisions will shift all alliances. And a mysterious mastermind will make sure everyone dances to his tune.

Will they bring peace to the peninsula, or will they burn it all down?

Obsidian will take you on an unforgettable journey into a world of endless sky, majestic dunes, desert warriors, powerful oracles, and deadly assassins, where love, loyalty, and honor burns in its scorching sand and the hearts of humans who refuse to run from a fight they can't win.
