Two people met in a stuffy, dirty cantina. A southerner sword dancer known as the Sand Tiger. And a northerner, an-istoya, who calls herself Del. She needs to find her brother, who disappeared five years ago. And now he simply has nothing to do. Then, on the journey through the hot sands of Penge, they will set off together. Because istoya, in the language of the north, means “sword dancer”. And there is enough room in the circle for two.
