Borne of Sand and Scorn: A Forgotten Lands Prequel

Written by Lindsey Pogue

Narrated by Andrew Gibson and Aven Shore

Death favors no one.

In the bustling industrial cities of Victorian America, soot clouds darken the skies, plaguing citizens with black lung. Rich or poor, young or old, no matter their station, no one is able to escape the life-threatening disease, and the West family is no exception.

Overcome by death and sickness, the Wests flee to the New Territories for refuge, only to discover more devastation. Wind and drought ravage the land, burgeoning love and friendships are tested, and no one is safe. No place on earth is untouched by the Shift.

Borne of Sand and Scorn is the prelude to the Victorian post-apocalyptic adventure, Dust and Shadow, and is a Forgotten Lands Series Prequel adventure.

Lindsey Pogue

Lindsey Pogue has always been a little creative. As a child she established a bug hospital on her elementary school soccer field, compiled books of collages as a teenager, and as an adult, expresses herself through writing. Her novels are inspired by her observations of the world around her--whether she's traveling, people watching, or hiking. When not plotting her next story line or dreaming up new, brooding characters, Lindsey's wrapped in blankets watching her favorite action flicks or going on road trips with her own leading man.
