In this world, the only thing more precious than water is trust.

Oskar Dorn is no stranger to nightmares. As a Marine, he lived through more than his fair share, but these new dreams carry a weight no battlefield ever did. The screams of his brother Erik—long believed dead—ring in his mind every night, calling for help.

With reality fraying at the edges, Oskar heeds the call, drawn to a terrifying space between worlds and ultimately to a desolate planet on the brink of collapse: a place where water is lifeblood and the fading remnants of magic cling desperately to it.

To save his brother, Oskar will have to fight—but even with his newfound druidic power, standing against a Crocodilian warlord and a dark shaman puppeteering from the shadows is a deadly gamble.
But this isn't just about his brother anymore.

Oskar was summoned for a reason: a broken man, chosen to heal a broken world.

The Great Tree has taken root, but the desert is a harsh soil.

Valla, the dark shaman who went mad in her quest to kill Oskar’s Collective, has fallen, freeing his brother from the terrible hold she had on him.

Desiccation doesn’t care about battles won or lost, though; it’s fighting a war. Its corruption marches toward the Great Tree to unravel the last chance this world has, leaving Oskar and his friends no choice but to destroy the corruption at its root.

Danger beyond anything they’ve ever faced awaits them, and rumors swirl of a familiar traveler fleeing across the desert, whispering poison to any who will listen.

Even the arcane knowledge Oskar gains to stop the Desiccation threatens to unmake him, and all the elemental powers he’s mastered might not be enough.

After all, in an endless desert, a little rain isn’t going to cut it.

To save a world turning to dust, Oskar must become the storm.
