Hearts and Wagers (The Sand Games Book 2)

Five may survive. And for one, the Games demand more than blood—they demand her heart. Avaris Gamal has entered the Sand Games—the brutal, televised fight for freedom. As a half-breed slave, she’s faced betrayal, cruelty, and loss. Now, survival means navigating deadly trials, unspoken truths, and a wager of the heart. Allies are few: her ex-lover, Tarik, and the one person she should never trust—Khyan Heedis, a dangerous Reaper who may hold the key to her soul. Enemies close in, hearts are tested, and the only way to survive may be awakening the power inside her… or losing everything. Hearts and Wagers is the heart-pounding, emotional conclusion to The Sand Games duet—a dark dystopian paranormal romance of deadly trials, forbidden love, and a heroine who dares to claim her power in a world designed to destroy her.
