Caesar al-Zebiy is the second son of Sultan Zebiyah and one of the contenders for the throne. While his brothers are gathering armies and plotting intrigues, he wins the hearts of the people by traveling through the deserts and oases of his kingdom.

Caesar possesses the rare magic of Star Sand, capable of creating golden whirlwinds, illusions of the starry sky and sand mirrors. Calm, charismatic, and dangerously charming, he faces a choice: join the fight for the throne or find his own path among the stars and sand.
