The kids soon find themselves being pursued relentlessly by the Sand Queen and her vicious henchmen (lion men). Thus starts a dangerous quest/adventure in an exotic land filled with fantastic and menacing creatures, where the kids must test their mettle and try their best to topple the Sand Queen. Can they fulfill the Hailona Prophecy?

And she's perfectly happy with her life, until two new men show up in her cozy hometown of Snow Hill, Maryland. The first, Whistler, an ill—reputed boxer with a paranormal secret. The second, Zahid, the Egyptian father who'd left her mother the day after Selk was born.
