Swords and Scimitars

~ Two immortal brothers. One enchanted sword. ~

The lives of well-born twins Kismet and Taso are easy and carefree -- endless days of bedding women and fighting battles among the gods -- until sorcery drives a wedge between them that slices deeper than flesh. Kismet has striven to be the ultimate warrior, but a mistake costs him his brother, his family, and his homeland.

He carves out a new life in the desert, rising to the command of a realm and an army, yet can't escape his past. When two women beg for his aid against tyranny, he must sacrifice his freedom and his long-scarred heart to help them.
