Blood on The Sand

A Novel by Neil Sammons

In the lawless frontier of 1830s southern Africa, three lives collide in a sweeping tale of survival, loyalty, and forbidden love.

James Hellanbach, a disgraced Scottish nobleman, journeys into the wild interior in search of anonymity—but the land has other plans. Caught between clashing cultures, brutal traders, and the raw beauty of the bushveld, he finds himself tethered to two women with secrets of their own: Aletta, a settler’s daughter bound to the land by blood and history; and Isabel, a fierce young woman with a past she won’t speak of.

As colonial forces tighten their grip and the Lowveld grows ever more treacherous, James must navigate the untamed wilderness—and his own fractured soul—to survive what lies ahead.

Blood on the Sand is the gripping first novel in a bold new historical adventure series. Perfect for fans of Wilbur Smith, Tony Park, and sweeping epics that blend danger, passion, and the unforgiving pull of the land.
