Sands of Eppla Series

Cassandra lives in a world where you fall in love at first sight—or not at all. Too bad she's blind, and being blind makes her not only immune to love, but also a criminal. She must now live alone or face being sentenced to a life of slavery. Though she's grown accustomed to her solitude, everything changes when Cassandra stumbles across a mysterious man in her domain. A royal soldier is hunting Nikon down, endangering her freedom as well. If the warriors discover her, she'll be bound by the law. Not willing to risk slavery or death, Cassandra abandons her familiar home and ventures into an unforgiving world with Nikon. Forced to trust a man she doesn't even know, Cassandra finds she's drawn to him even though a relationship between them is impossible. And she can't afford any distractions. If they don't stay one step ahead of the warriors, Nikon will be imprisoned and she enslaved. Cassandra must use all the senses she has left if they're to remain free.

Sands of Deceit   Ever since Nikon entered Cassandra's life, she's gone from a peaceful existence to a world of danger and answers she never wanted—except about her parents possibly being alive. Though her parents caused her to go blind, Cassandra still wants to know what happened to them. But with warriors patrolling the streets and targeting members of the rebellion, both she and Nikon are reluctant to take on a perilous search for her family.   When warriors are sent to oust the two of them, Nikon and Cassandra quickly find themselves fleeing for their lives. With the rebellion struggling, there's few people to aid them unless they find a way to pull the rebels together.   While on the run, Cassandra and Nikon must race to find her parents and help fight against the Reding and Vading's iron rule. Should the warriors capture them, their lives and the lives of those they care about could be forfeit. Too bad the secrets still simmering between them could get in the way of everything they're trying to accomplish.   Finding Cassandra's parents, aiding the rebellion, and the most impossible task of all—falling in love—now seem farther away than ever.

Finding her parents and discovering who Nikon really is transformed Cassandra's life forever. On the run from the warriors who want to deliver her to the nefarious high priest, while dealing with the new truths she's discovered, she will face challenges from known and unknown foes whose cruelty pushes beyond her breaking point.   Despite the dangers, Cassandra is determined to discover and fix the wrongs that have plagued her country, friends, family, and Nikon. Yet, the deeper she delves the more she discovers that her own past may be the key to her country's future. The blindness of her sight will be nothing to the blindness of the heart—but even that is nothing compared to what the rest of Eppla will suffer should she fail.
