Story
To continue his education and understanding of leadership, the Prince travels to the kingdom ruled by his brother, Malik.
But instead he is in the midst of a huge military assault. Enemies are besieging Malik’s kingdom and the situation is quickly spiraling out of control.
To save his people, Malik makes a decision that will unleash an ancient army linked to the legendary King Solomon. The decision is meant to tip the scales in the battle, but the ancient power does not act as expected.
Instead of granting salvation, the freed Sands spread throughout the kingdom and turn living beings into dangerous Sand creatures.
Now, the Prince must endure the destruction while searching for a way to stop the supernatural force. His journey becomes a battle not only against the invading forces, but against the consequences of Malik’s choice.
The relationship between the two brothers is a huge part of the story as well as the consequences of using power without really knowing what it can do.
