Echoes in the Sand
by Edward Spiller
The war is over… but the echoes of resistance still haunt the sand.
After the fall of the Iranian occupation, the United Arab Emirates faces a new kind of struggle, rebuilding a nation torn apart by conflict, betrayal, and buried truths. As international powers jostle for influence and old alliances fracture, the real enemy hides in plain sight.
Hessa Al Maktoum rises as the voice of a fractured people, determined to forge a new future, but not everyone wants peace. Khalid Al Farsi is pulled into a high-stakes game of diplomacy and deception, while Jack Hawke uncovers chilling evidence of a deeper conspiracy, one that threatens not just the UAE, but the stability of the entire region.
When the truth is buried in the shifting sands, who will rise, and who will be consumed by the storm?
Echoes in the Sand is the explosive third novel in the Beneath a Persian Sun trilogy, blending political intrigue, covert warfare, and the human cost of liberation into a gripping geopolitical thriller that will stay with you long after the final page.
