Goodbye to the Sun (Wind Tide Book 1) in Bloomington, MN

Thrown together on a desert planet, a daring rebel pilot and a war-torn diplomat clash in an epic struggle over honor, family, and revenge.
On a lone wind-shaped world, the Motes are on the brink. Razor, a bold and fearless pilot, leads a last-ditch gambit against their local oppressors, the Targitians.
The plan - abduct visiting Ambassador Keen Draden and use him as a bargaining chip to restore Mote independence on Kol-2. But when the operation unravels, Razor is forced to renegotiate terms with the arrogant diplomat.
Racing the planet's raging wind tides, the two struggle to maintain a fragile pact. But Keen's dubious past rises and the Mote's resolve falters. Opportunity and obligation clash in a confrontation that binds their futures more tragically than they ever thought possible.
