The Kestadian Hope

Living as a slave for her master Derkel, Axel's life is devoid of meaning. Bound by a strong tie, she long since forgot every hope of being free from him. When she goes on the Kestadian hope, a sand crawler made to help civilians traverse the massive desert of Arisa, she meets with sympathetic strangers that try to help her during a voyage that will be more chaotic than any passenger expected.
