In the shadow of Karnak and beneath the watchful gaze of Montu, the Egyptian god of war, a new conflict ignites.
Amen-Raad is a seasoned Egyptian officer, disciplined, relentless, and feared in battle. When reports surface that Hittite forces and Phoenician loyalists are attempting to transform Kadesh into a center of Astarte worship and foreign control, Amen-Raad and his friends are part of a military force to confront the growing threat. What begins as a military campaign quickly escalates into something far greater.
Massive war rhinos clad in armor charge across the battlefield. A cunning sorceress wields a mysterious shard said to hum with divine energy. A Nephilim giant stands as an unstoppable wall of destruction. And inside a partially completed temple dedicated to Astarte, ambition and belief collide in ways that could reshape the region.
Yet amid fire and sand, it is the bonds between warriors, Ukani, Khem, Braheem, Nailah, and others, that hold the Egyptian forces together. As the legend of “Sandstorm” spreads among soldiers and enemies alike, Amen-Raad must decide what kind of man he truly wants to be: myth… or mortal.
Blending grounded historical warfare with epic scale and emotional depth, "Sandstorm: A Widow’s Oil Novella" delivers a powerful story of loyalty, sacrifice, and the birth of legend.
