Publisher's blurb: Sunlight filters in through the cracking ceiling on this ruined desert temple, dancing on sparkling water in a clear oasis. Platforms are set across the water, with two bridges meeting to form a platform in the middle. Tall palms grow out of intricate stone tiles, alongside wildflowers and waterlilies. Sand piles on top of the cracked pavers, while many of the support pillars holding up the temple’s roof are also fractured. Fallen stone and rubble lay dispersed on the ground. You can hear the cry of birds and the flutter of wings from where they roost, high above.
