When two women beg for aid against tyranny, a sultan must sacrifice his freedom and his long-scarred heart to help them. "Fantastic worldbuilding." —The Romance Reviews. * FREE for Kindle Unlimited members.*
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.
Swords and Scimitars is a 7,000-word short story (approximately 25 pages) about the immortal founders of verdant Teganne and desert Kad, rival realms divided by magic and bound by blood, mistrust, and love.
