A young gypsy girl discovers she has real powers in "Love in Times of Sand". She fights a dark spirit that has been on Earth for a long time, one that has come for vengeance to eliminate her and her family for a crime that involves her family's lineage. Charged for crimes she didn't commit and with authorities coming for her, she meets the love of her life while she is on the run, the younger of the princes of Egypt, whose older brother wants him dead. While they both must fight, they are continually running from trouble while trying to live their love.

Life is full of obstacles, but even with the obstacles, it never loses its beauty. Hope keeps humanity alive, and there will always be a next day.
