With enemies closing in on all sides, Kenton forges an unlikely partnership with Khriss -- a mysterious Darksider who hides secrets of her own.

| − | == Trivia == |
||
| − | * An excerpt from the first chapter of this graphic novel can be found in [[Arcanum Unbounded]] alongside the original [[White Sand (prose)|prose]] source material for that section. |
||
| − | * In [[Summary: White Sand#Chapter 2|Chapter 2]] when Kenton wakes up after his fight with the [[sandling]] there is a boombox in the tent behind him. [[Brandon]] has confirmed that this is not canonical as the residents of Taldain had not yet reached that level of technology at the time of the story. [[Isaac Stewart]] said that the artist who colored the graphic novel misunderstood the line art and that there was not enough time to change it before the book went to print.{{wob ref|11076}} He also said that when they put out a second edition of the book this and the other inconsistencies will be fixed.{{wob ref|13246}} These revisions were accomplished for the omnibus edition. |
