What is Serpent of the sands about?

When Princess Ganzorig’s uncle falls gravely ill, Gan leaves the Citadel in search of the legendary Serpent of the Sands, said to guard a garden of healing cacti. Accompanied by Thorn, a mysterious boy, and Slink, a sapient gerbil, she journeys across deserts, floating cities and other strange lands. As danger closes in and secrets about the serpent emerge, Gan must decide what she truly believes—and whether she is ready to challenge those determined to control humans and sapient creatures alike.
