Tamra used to be an elite kehok rider, but now she scrapes a living as a professional trainer. The Races pit several kehoks and their riders against each other to find out not only who has the fastest kehok but which rider has the greatest mental control over their charge. The only way that a kehok can break this hellish cycle of resurrection is to become grand champion of the Races, the favoured pastime of the Becaran people. These monsters have no hope of redemption or salvation and each time they die they will come back as a different type of kehok. Kehoks are chimera-like beasts who spawn out in the wilds and who live existences of pure anguish and pain. However, for those truly evil beings, their punishment is to come back as a monster, as a kehok. The purest souls come back as humans or a great animal, while those more corrupt individuals come back as something lower, such as insects or vermin, a state that can only be redeemed after several lifetimes. Guided by the augurs, priests who can read people’s aura, the inhabitants of Becar do all they can to better themselves, as who you are in this life determines your future lives.
In the kingdom of Becar, the most important thing to a person is the state of their soul. Publisher: HarperAudio (Audiobook – 21 April 2020)īestselling author Sarah Beth Durst returns with a pulse pounding and compelling new novel, Race the Sands, an excellent fantasy novel that has a really great story to it.
