Publisher's Synopsis
Two immortal brothers. One enchanted sword.
Immerse yourself in two legendary tales of the immortal twin founders of verdant Teganne and desert Kad, rival realms divided by magic-yet bound by blood, mistrust, and love. (Volume 1) Swords and Scimitars: A Fantasy Short Story The lives of well-born twin gods Kismet and Taso are easy and carefree-endless days of bedding women and fighting battles among the immortals-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. Readers say: "From the first page I was instantly transported into a well-developed fantasy world and couldn't put my Kindle down until I had finished the last page. A fast-paced story with heartfelt emotion!" "Kismet is a magnificent hero who hides his wounds behind his power. As usual, Cate Rowan delivers a beautiful tale." "A fairy-tale-like adventure that will entertain even readers new to the series. Another worthy installment from an author who's become an auto-buy for this reader!" (Volume 2) Sword and Lute: A Fantasy Romance Novelette Slashed by a cursed sword, the god Taso feels his immortality gushing into the grass. He escapes death only by transforming into stone. Centuries later, the very mortal musician Amara stumbles across the stone and inadvertently morphs Taso back into his dying body. To save him, she must sacrifice her precious lute and her life-long dream... but in return, she and Taso might find their hearts' desire. Readers say: "Worth the price and then some!
