"A Dance in the Dust is like the tango, you feel the intensity and passion of the push and pull of inner struggles and a literal fighting style. It truly is a bold step that Palmer lands with precision."

- Wolfmantula

Captain Dravien Tarbet of the Lovasi army has spent most of his life fighting the people of Esher on their own soil, only to have all attempts at victory snuffed out by the Draku King, Kassius Esterbraun, and his dragons.

 

Finally, after seven years on foreign soil, Dravien has returned home, though now he is heartbroken and more alone than ever. But when the Esheri army turns the table and crosses the Old Sea, with their dragons in tow, to make an invasion upon Lovasi land, Dravien is sent into the field to meet them in battle. During the fight he is badly injured and left to die. When he awakes, he finds himself in the enemy's camp under the care of a strange cult of Draku witches who call themselves the Ul Vosh Aris.

 

After being nursed back to health in strange, and unusual ways amongst the Ul Vosh Aris, Dravien is shown a life of peace and meaning that he never thought possible, and embarks on a journey to wake an ancient dragon with his new family. But when the true reason that this cult of Draku has kept him alive is revealed, Dravien Tarbet is forced to make a decision between fighting for what he has always known, and fighting for what he has come to believe in.
