Mysteries of The Arabian Desert

The first night in his new home, thirteen-year-old Tariq Al Masi feels something watching him from the corner of his room. He tells himself it's nothing... he's wrong.A hollow giggle drifts through the walls at an hour when the house should be silent. Dust rearranges itself into words he shouldn't be able to read, somewhere beneath the desert outside Dubai, something ancient stirs after thirteen years of patient slumber, and it remembers the scent of everyone who stood against it the last time it walked.Tariq doesn't know his father bled to death defending a chamber carved into the rock, that an entire alliance was torn apart in one night of screaming and smoke, or that the uncle who raised him has been guarding a secret soaked in loss.What he does have are friends who refuse to leave his side, no matter what waits in the dark.But trust will shatter. People will vanish. Loved ones will die. And when the shadows finally close in, blood will spill across the sand.Will any of them make it out alive?
