Sanded Soul is a dark, myth-infused historical fantasy that weaves together folklore, romance, and the lingering shadows of World War II. Cursed by the Night Council, Morpheus—the god of dreams—walks the earth as the Sandman, bringing hope to the hopeless through dreams. When Klara, a mysterious young woman from Germany, unexpectedly enters his dreamworld, their fates intertwine.
