Goodbye to the Sun by Jonathan Nevair

SPSFC 2022

A daring rebel pilot and a war-torn diplomat clash as reluctant companions in this action-packed tale of perseverance, sacrifice, and hard-won hope. Hidden in Kol-2’s remote dunes, the desert-dwelling Motes are on the brink. Razor, a bold resistance fighter, leads a last-ditch gambit against her people’s oppressors. The plan: abduct visiting ambassador Keen Draden and use him as a bargaining chip to restore Mote independence. But when the operation unravels, she’s forced to renegotiate terms with the arrogant diplomat. Battling raging wind tides and pursuit by an infamous bounty hunter, the mismatched companions struggle to maintain their fragile pact. That’s when an eccentric smuggler with a knack for exposing cracks in people’s pride offers their assistance. Before long, Keen’s dubious past rises and Razor’s resolve falters. Opportunity and obligation clash, binding their futures together more tragically than they ever thought possible.
