BLACK SANDZ: SIEGE AND DESIST

Before the Fall, Alexandros was a prosperous metropolis in the heart of the Southlands, now, it was less than a shadow of itself and full of nothing but death and hopelessness.

In a race against time to return home to power the city’s night-time defences, brothers Archie and Jaks rush home to the thriving city of Firestone Bay before the sun sets. But when fate intervenes, they’re forced to abandon their vehicle and continue on foot through the perilous ruins of Old Lexi at night.

Without the brothers and the possession they carried, the last green forest in existence and the last stronghold of human resilience and defiance in the face of death, the capital city of the Shadowlands, Firestone Bay, was defenceless against the terrors that prowled the night.

Stalking the cold, dead sands of the wasteland, monstrous creations stir restlessly in the darkness of night. Unnatural, infected humans that have devastated the world around them with the fungal black-blood that leaks from their mutilated, decomposing bodies rule the ruins of the wasteland.

The sticky, black-blooded abominations, the creatures that consumed the natural world aren’t what drives true terror for the people of the Shadowlands; that honour belongs to their creators. Creatures as black as a moonless night with wings of pure golden light as captivating as the heavens they dominate. Their bright red eyes pierced the veil of darkness and penetrated the souls of all those who gazed into them; these giants were the curators of despair and the bringers of death.

But little did anyone know that this would be the darkest night the Firestonians had faced yet. Someone else had their eyes set on their city, they wanted what the Firestonians had and they were going to take it by any means necessary.

No one could have seen it coming…
