* HorseOfADifferentColor: Vezenians ride giant boars, while the people of the desert ride giant lizards.

Lady Landabella Trastan, a noblewoman from the rich city of Vezenia, travels across the desert with a skimpy escort. Her quest: to kill the "evil witch" that resides in the fortress of Saltfall.

Caught between ruthless slavers and lizard-riding riders, she soon discovers that the authority of her noble status is worth nothing in a lawless, unforgiving land.
