Sands of Time + Story Bundle

A fabled treasure. A forgotten temple. And a wish that should never be granted.

In the desert village of Kesmet, whispers tell of a treasure capable of fulfilling any desire.

A wealthy merchant hires your party to retrieve an ancient artifact. Your search leads through shifting sands, a troubled oasis, and echoing caves to the Temple of Asherah, where enchanted guardians and forgotten magic protect a dangerous secret.

Decipher ancient inscriptions. Navigate a shifting labyrinth in magical feline form. Confront a soldier bound by an eternal curse.

But reaching the treasure is only the beginning. Someone has plans for the power sleeping beneath the temple.

Will you stop the awakening, or face what emerges?

TWO STORIES. ONE DESERT. MORE TO DISCOVER.

Explore the legends and characters surrounding Sands of Time through two companion fantasy stories.

THE LOST TREASURE

In the desert kingdom of Kesmet, the greatest treasure is neither gold nor gems. It is Princess Asherah, youngest daughter of Sultan Qasim al-Din.

As the day of her ascension approaches, the exiled Shadow King Tariq moves to overthrow the Sultan and topple the kingdom from within. Beneath a coming solar eclipse, ancient secrets buried in the sands begin to rise.

In a land where magic, myth, and politics collide, Asherah’s destiny may determine the fate of Kesmet.

In the desert that birthed a million dreams, a nightmare is coming.

BEFORE THE WISH

Before he was Tyrell the Adventurer, he was only an apprentice.

A simple mission to return a golden lamp goes terribly wrong when a sand dragon takes Tyrell’s master. Alone in the Kesmet desert, Tyrell’s only hope may be the magical creature who emerges from the lamp.

It promises to help him save his master.

The price? A little blood magic.
