Children of the Whales, Vol. 3: Volume 3 Book

In this post-apocalyptic fantasy, a sea of sand swallows everything but the past. In an endless sea of sand drifts the Mud Whale, a floating island city of clay and magic. In its chambers a small community clings to survival, most dying young from the very powers that sustain them. The Mud Whale is in dire trouble. In four days, the imperial apatheia soldiers will return to destroy all its inhabitants. But the Committee of Elders would rather kill everyone on board than wait for the mercy of the empire, and the fighters of the island will do the elders' bidding without a second thought.
