Desert of Bones

The sun bleeds across the desert, casting long shadows over the carnage. Khatar, the Butcher of the Sands, surveys his domain – a graveyard of shattered dreams and broken bodies. His reign of terror is absolute, his power unquestioned. But the whispers on the wind speak of a new dawn, a new enemy rising in the west. Khatar sharpens his blade, ready to meet the coming storm, for he knows that only the strongest will survive the desert's brutal embrace. Disclaimer: "Desert of Bones" is a work of fiction.
