the Pyramid of Black Sands

THE DESERT BURIED IT FOR A REASON. After a violent sandstorm tears across Egypt's Western Desert, archaeologist Dr. Layla Farouk and her expedition uncover the tip of a pyramid unlike anything in recorded history. Its flawless black stone reflects no sunlight. It bears no marks of age. And the entrance opens as though it has been waiting for them. Inside, light behaves like prey. Hieroglyphs appear only when the lamps grow dim. Guide ropes are severed by unseen hands. Shadows move in directions their owners do not-and somewhere beneath the pyramid, something ancient is beginning to awaken. The deeper Layla's team descends, the more terrifying the truth becomes. The pyramid is not a tomb. It is a machine built to contain a force the ancient Egyptians called the Sun-Drinker. At its heart rests an impossible relic: a black cup capable of consuming light itself. Now their batteries are dying. The corridors are changing. And the darkness has learned their names. To escape, Layla must uncover the pyramid's final secret before the expedition's greatest discovery becomes the last thing any of them ever see. The Pyramid of the Black Sands is a cinematic archaeological science-fiction thriller filled with ancient warnings, impossible technology, supernatural darkness, and a discovery powerful enough to threaten the sun itself.
