A secret love. A winter storm. A race against time and tide.

BLACK SAND AND BLOOD

Book Four of the Elemental Web Stories

On the black sands of Iceland’s coast, Dýri and Sóllilja brave a winter storm to harvest an elusive cryptid’s scales—raw material for armor like no other. For him, it’s a chance to finally force their long-hidden love into the open. But when an enemy tracks them down, survival—and their hope for their future—will depend on courage, cunning, and a stroke of luck.
