Throne of Khetara
In the shifting sands of an ancient kingdom, where gods whisper through temples and power is as fragile as desert glass, a hidden fate begins to stir. The Throne of Khetara invites readers into a world where political tension and divine prophecy intertwine, crafting a narrative that pulses with magic and mystery.
Centered on the fragile reign of ailing rulers and the secrets buried beneath the sunbaked land, the story follows a cast of unlikely allies—a determined princess, a questioning priestess, a rebellious outsider, and a cunning tomb robber. Their paths collide in unexpected ways, each driven by personal stakes but bound by the fate of a kingdom teetering on the edge of chaos.
Throne of Khetara consists of two books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
