A bed posed on a stage under a dazzling spotlight. An audience of
hungry eyes. And him, the other half of my soul, our supple bodies
moving as one....
Sundara: the lush and forbidden oasis in the desert where men travel to
watch acts of sexual deviancy, and the only existence 17-year-old Karys
has ever known. But despite a life where secrets and sin are in high
supply, and freedom remains far beyond their reach, Karys and her
partner, Zakai, find safety in each other, their passionate love the
light that helps them both survive the darkness.
Very suddenly, Karys and Zakai find themselves in the bright and
confusing world of New York City, navigating separation, school, and
relatives who are all but strangers. If they've been found, why do they
still feel so lost? As their new lives threaten to drive them apart, and
Zakai spins out of her grasp, Karys must figure out who and what can be
trusted in this strange city, seemingly filled with more venom than the
desert they once called home.
