Oceans of Sand
One girl. Her boat. An ocean of sand to cross. Norah’s desert world has always been treacherous, with the roiling ocean of sand, giant scorpions, and brutal sandstorms—but now an unnatural famine plagues the desert nations and threatens to destroy all. Despite being the only one in her village without a sand gift, Norah is chosen with her best friend, Zadock, to sail across the ocean of sand in search of the legendary moonstone, an artifact that could end the famine. As Norah and Zadock set off on their journey, secret romantic feelings each has suppressed for years rise to the surface. Love weakens sand gifts, and if they act on their feelings, Zadock's sand gift will disappear. Caught in a crossfire between forbidden feelings, an unforgiving desert, and starving nations willing to do anything to survive, Norah and Zadock discover the true meaning of sacrifice—and the power that love has to heal the world.

Flory's writing style is immensely visual, helping readers embrace an imaginative landscape with precision and clarity. Elegant sand battles and ships traversing a powdery sea are descriptive enough to make you feel the grains sting your cheeks as the wind kicks up the sand. This consistency of writing helps cement the beautiful, otherworldly landscape and makes the character growth even more profound. Add to that the gentle love story that underpins that grand plot and you have an exotic story that will keep you up all hours of the night. The compelling, original storyline pairs with classic elements popular for this genre to quickly land this novel on the top of your favorites list. Clean fiction written with sincerity, discernment and absolute composure, Oceans of Sand is a magnificent tale told in a world you'll never want to leave!"

Readers' Favorite

"It's been quite a while since I found a book that I was unable to put down. From the very first page right to the last, the author captured my imagination. Jessica Flory has a unique talent where she has brought a desert to life and given the sand similar qualities as water. She has created an interesting world of infinite times where the moon affects the sand as it does the tides of the ocean. Characters are relatable and relevant and show development. Written in the first-person narrative over three different characters, the reader is plunged into this epic fantasy world. Recommended for young adults and mature readers alike, this book will take you on an incredible journey you won't want to return from."
