Era of Blood and Steel

Brothers by bond.Divided by position and belief.History is made by those of insignificant bearing, being born of no great importance. They rise like stone pillars from the depths of the seas of time...James, a commoner, strives for the quiet life of a soldier with aspirations to settle down and raise his family. Only, fate has other plans.Samuel, the son of Lord Philip of the kingdom of Sand Land; destined to become the next ruler of his father's Kingdom, is born with his path set in stone.Once the best of friends who shared a similar vision for the future, separated by distance and loyalties. Now poised to become enemies on the cusp of events that will alter the future of their homeland forever.Both are pulled along by the force of circumstances into the very fabric of the ever-changing landscape of their respective worlds. Destiny claims them both for its own means and neither one has control over his own life.Or so they are led to believe...
