Sands of Black and Blood In the grim kingdom of Veridia, Kaelen, a slave of formidable strength and striking obsidian features, endures a life of brutality under Lord Malak. But Kaelen harbors a devastating secret: he is a Conduit, able to wield the Aether—the primordial energy of creation itself. When forced to execute the noblewoman Elara, he sees a reflection of his own caged spirit and chooses rebellion. Unleashing the tempest of power he long suppressed, he shatters his chains and escapes with her. Now, hunted by Malak’s forces and ancient orders who fear his power, their flight sparks a continent-spanning conflict. To survive, Kaelen must master the raging Aether within him, unravel the secrets of his lost royal heritage, and confront the destiny that calls him to reclaim the Ebony Throne. This is an epic saga of rebellion, forbidden magic, and a bond forged in chains that will change the world.
