Sand That Bleeds

In this world, Pharaohs aren't just god-kings-they're living anchors that bind divine magic to reality itself, holding back the cosmic horrors that predate civilization. When Akhenaten commits heresy by worshiping only the Aten, he doesn't just anger the gods-he shatters the magical covenant that has kept the Sha (apocalyptic sand-dragons) imprisoned since before time had a name. As the stars die one by one, the Nile runs with salt, and reality itself begins to fray, two unlikely heroes must journey into the cursed Red Land to find the Khepresh of Set-a crown of pure chaos that could save the world or unmake it entirely.
