A storm is coming. And it doesn’t just peel your skin. It decides who deserves to keep it.
Kune is a fugitive with a bounty on his head, a sword at his side, and a past he’d rather forget. When a black dust storm drives him into a cabin with strangers and a skinless corpse, he realizes the north holds darker secrets than he ever imagined. Something ancient is hunting in the storm. And it’s not alone.
As he flees deeper into the wilderness, Kune becomes entangled with a mysterious woman, a cursed giant of a man, and two brothers on a quest for vengeance. Pursued by ruthless bounty hunters and a renegade sorcerer, they prepare for a final stand where magic and steel collide.
But survival isn’t enough. Not when the past claws its way back. Not when the only way forward is either through fire… or through black dust.
The Black Dust Rises is a visceral, character-driven fantasy novella of survival, redemption, and the cost of doing what’s right when everything else says RUN. It’s perfect for fans of grimdark fantasy, morally complex heroes, and stories where the monsters wear human faces. Or sometimes, no faces at all.
