Protagonist "Ash" has been abducted and enslaved by aliens. The aliens whisper of a "Top-secret project" that they refuse to tell the humans for obvious reasons. But Ash could confidently take a guess when they discover something huge. The aliens gathered that humans are better at excavating crystals and gemstones, not taking a moment to think about the fact that not all humans have these skills. Each human has to make a daily quota, otherwise bad things will happen. Aliens value crystals and gemstones, and information as well. They interrogate the humans, especially the one's that seem to know more than they're letting on... However, the aliens told Ash that if they'd provided enough information and crystals, they would wipe their mind of all the memories from their stay here, and they'd let them go to Earrth.

Teia Cloto arrives in Naples believing all she needs is a vacation. And to finish her master's thesis on an expedited schedule. What she doesn't need is for four matchmaking retirees to arrange a blind date before she's even unpacked. Then, she meets Alden Colle. Worldly, charming, and mildly infuriating, Alden is a serious writer with a slight obsession with Greek mythology. One date turns into two, then three... They sail the Neapolitan coastline, wander ancient ruins, and fall into a connection Teia has no sensible way to explain. Around Alden, Naples feels oddly familiar. Hidden frescoes come alive. Mirrors show glimpses of another reality. And when he speaks of Theseus, Alden's sadness feels a little too personal. On their final night, Alden makes her a promise: Naxos. Two years. Five years later, Teia has a successful career, a dependable fiancé, and no intention of dwelling on Alden Colle again, especially when her ancient dating history suggests men like him rarely keep their promises. But when she returns to Italy, the past begins tugging at threads she thought she had severed, and Alden is waiting at the other end. Now Teia must decide whether to protect the sensible life she has built or risk everything for a love story Fate has been retelling for thousands of years. *** Water and Sand is a contemporary love story that reimagines the myth of Theseus and Ariadne, where love is a labyrinth and friendship feels like the safest way out. #Wattys2026
