A Measure of Sand

About this book

Jalil Safar is the wealthiest and most calculating water merchant in the parched city of Kharan, having sacrificed his family ties to build an unbreakable monopoly. When his estranged daughter Nadira arrives with news that her remote settlement's oasis is failing, Jalil initially sees only a business opportunity to acquire new land at a fraction of its worth. As they journey together across the perilous and unforgiving dunes, the harsh realities of the wasteland and the ghosts of his past force Jalil to confront the selfish man he has become. Faced with a rival syndicate intent on taking over Nadira's home, Jalil must decide whether to protect the empire he spent his life building or dismantle it entirely to save the family he once abandoned.
