By Dust & Duty (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798224900237)

On the cold desert planet of Veirbos, life is held hostage by the rarity of Water and threatened by the volatility of its production.

Meet Ereta, a 26-turns-old Runner responsible for navigating the treacherous Veirbosian terrain to transport goods and correspondence. Her daily life is a cycle of isolation and self-loathing as she tries to outrun the betrayals of her past. Yet amidst the bleakness, there are glimmers of hope: in the flirtatious Leelin, the blunt but loyal Jace, and the solace of her strange, recurring dreams.

When a near-death experience launches Ereta on a harrowing path toward a bleak fate, she is forced to confront harsh truths about herself and the very nature of existence. In the struggle to save all she holds dear, Ereta will risk everything by venturing into the strange, snowy expanse of another world.

But her unique ability to travel between realms is no accident; it is the culmination of her soul's ongoing efforts to unite with its mate.
