Empire of Sand and Blood

By J.M. Cook

Empire of Sand and Blood The Silk Road is no longer just a trade route--it is a battlefield. In the shifting sands of war, where loyalty is fleeting and survival is never guaranteed, two men are caught in the storm. Batu, an exiled warrior known for his ruthless strategy, has spent years outrunning the ghosts of his past. Wei Han, a former imperial scholar, carries a secret so dangerous it could alter the balance of power across empires. Neither of them sought war--but war has found them. As ruthless warlords rise and unseen enemies move in the shadows, the desert whispers of conquest and fire. Armies march, cities fall, and the weight of history hangs heavy on those who dare to stand in its path. But some battles are not won with swords alone. And in a world ruled by ambition and betrayal, silence can be deadlier than steel. Empire of Sand and Blood is a gritty historical fiction epic of ruthless warlords, high-stakes strategy, and the untamed spirit of the Silk Road. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden, and epic war fiction. The storm is coming. They can run--but they can't hide.
