The Forbidden Oasis

Sand dunes stretch endless and merciless across a desert that has swallowed entire civilizations whole. Somewhere beneath its shifting surface lies a paradise erased from every map—a place whispered about in dying languages. Archaeologist Selah Arin possesses the only surviving fragment of a route carved into bone, and she intends to follow it. But a dangerous competitor wants the artifact, the terrain hides lethal secrets older than memory, and reaching the oasis may cost far more than turning back.
