Black Sands is the most popular independent book series in the black community and it is clear why.

War has broken out in the Mediterranean as Sparta invades mainland Minoa.

Ausar realizes his original mission no longer stands. He now must rally his allies before they are crushed by the relentless onslaught of the Spartan army. The young boy Menes has decided to aid our heroes in the fight, but even with his aid, the enemy is well prepared.

After days of grueling battle, there is a moment of peace, but that moment shatters when it is discovered that ancients beasts are on the island! Ausar decides it would be best to investigate so the team delves deep into the tunnels under the mountain. After many obstacles, they stumble upon a glowing shard that holds the answers to many mysteries behind the ancients and Minoa.
