Shadows in the Sand: A Fantasy Novel (Empyria, Book 1)

The deathly Sanghouls have escaped from the Empty Province and, from within their golden dunes, they seek to wipe out all life in Empyria. Unaware of this, the last surviving humans continue going about their daily routine in the city of Nimar. But when the city’s water pool stops refilling, the Nimerians are forced to move into lands of myth and legend.

Only when Prince Viro, an elf of the southern lands, arrives in Nimar do the humans truly understand the threat to their existence. The two races must unite and reclaim the lost seven stones of light – the only weapon that can defeat the demonic shadow enclosing them.

As four of the city’s most talented young men and women, Athmane, Faria, Bayoud and Mary will be critical to Nimar enduring the perils, both natural and unnatural, that await them.

Reviews:

'It’s a wonderful fantasy book that reminds me of JRR Tolkien who is one of my favorite authors. One of the things I enjoyed most was the creation of a unique world and all of the creatures in it. The world was very vividly portrayed and I could easily visualize it.'
