Desert to Sea is the second book in EM Hawking’s Land of Magic series, continuing the magical world first introduced in Girl to Goddess.Fifteen-year-old Terra has always known Panamia as a dry, sun-scorched town where water is scarce and life feels predictable. But when strange visions begin to haunt her and her best friend Ara, the truth about Panamia’s past starts to surface—one that has been buried beneath sand, silence, and centuries of lies.Long ago, Panamia was not a desert at all. It was an ocean. And the people who once lived there were not human, but merfolk.As rain falls for the first time in thousands of years and the land begins to change, Terra and Ara discover that they are part of something much larger than themselves. With ancient magic awakening, a forgotten war returning, and the fate of an entire world at stake, they must learn to trust their powers—and each other—before history repeats itself.Perfect for young readers who love fantasy, friendship, mermaids, elemental magic, and stories of courage and self-discovery, Desert to Sea is a vivid adventure about uncovering the truth, embracing change, and building a new future from the ruins of the past.
