Teenagers rebel from the powers that be in many ways in all ages. But when Anda Gwyrran (the eldest daughter of the lord of their Pirate clan on the world of Sand, a mostly arid planet), goes against her father's will by rescuing a peculiar human from the wreckage of a ship which crashed on their world, she is in for a world of hurt. Already enduring abuse for sullying the family name, Anda finds herself at odds with her father when she discovers their rescued refugee is a Seer from Arras. Though everyone else in their colony sees the peculiar newcomer as a lunatic, Anda finds out he is everything he says he is. And more, the old Seer introduces Anda to the power of Seer fire, of which she has a gift. Caught between pressures to expand this new surprising skill, sating her father's brutal demands as the tyrant ruling their Pirate colony, and trying to survive in the ongoing war with the Th'san Empire, Anda relies on her friend Walen to get through it. Her new gift with Seer fire, however, brings unexpected fruits and shifts to her world paradigm. For she has seen in the fire what the Seer had tried to protect--the Last Tarrn, the chosen One to end the Endless War, and the Leader-of-Many born to protect the One. And she is not too happy about it. Sure--she is glad the Last Tarrn was not myth. Sure--she's impressed with what she has seen in the fire of Arras's capabilities. However, they need help NOW in fighting against the Th'sans. And Anda, and everyone else, is tired of waiting for the One to come. And in their case, when plagues come, it might be too late. Anda must take a stand. Will she remain strong in her faith to fight against the fear she has of her father? Pirate Deserts runs adjacent to the Martian Prophecies series, occasionally intersects with it, until it it merges in book 12. It is the beginning of Anda’s story, which will be told in 3 books, this being the first. [mehr]

If passing through youth was like crossing the mirage of life for Chandra and Nithya, it proved to be chasing the mirage of love for Sathya and Prema though for plain Vasavi, Chandra's pitiable sibling, it was the end of the road. As life brings Chandra, who suffers from an inferiority complex for his perceived ugliness, and Nithya, who was bogged down being jilted by Vasu, together, they script their fate of fulfillment. And as poetic justice would have it, Sathya, who caused Prema's heart burn, himself was led down the garden path by Kala, doing a Sathya on Sathya. Just not that, life has in store just deserts for Vasu owing to Nithya's retribution as he tries to stalk her. Besides, after many a fictional twist and turn, the way the story ends, challenges the perception that fact is stranger than fiction.
