The Sundial Between Dawn and Dusk

About this Book
No one dares approach the Gobi settlement where an ancient sundial is said to open a doorway into an inverted world. Those who enter are swallowed by the sand—and never return. Determined to uncover the truth behind her parents’ disappearance, Ling Yu travels to the legendary Never-Night Village. When her guide abandons her in the desert, she is rescued by the enigmatic Pei Jin. Then the sundial turns. Beyond it lie bone-scouring sandstorms, prowling monsters, and old massacres trapped in an endless cycle. As Ling Yu follows the clues, she discovers that her parents’ fate, the Anrini clan’s conspiracy, and her own destiny as a Sunbearer are bound together. Pei Jin begins as a stranger she cannot trust. Soon, he is the one person willing to cross the sea of corpses with her, tear through every lie, and stand beside her through ruin and despair. When the line between dawn and dusk appears and the curse demands Ling Yu’s blood, everyone calls her sacrifice inevitable. Everyone except him. Five years later, at the first light of sunrise, someone returns from the desert—but is it truly the person she has been waiting for?
