"You worry too much what the world should be and miss what it is. The trick is the balance." - Fiona
In Tag-Mur, after the king's death, one sister wants to sacrifice all to achieve great magic and rule Tag-Mur, the other sister's daughter leans towards her grandfather's belief that magic is best balanced and unused, not controlled. Both sisters want to rule Tag-Mur at ALL costs. The Eyes of the Serpent are two magical swords that can be fused together for ultimate power if incantations are known and royal blood is sacrificed, though in 2024, royal blood is not a real thing in human veins. Corva and Raven, evil mother and sadistic daughter, but who is the father? Neema and Fiona, mother and daughter that look like sisters, but who is the father? Seamus, the one-handed sorcerer, must translate an ancient scroll so Corva can centralize the power. He's also a double-agent and lover to Neema, which creates a kinda plot hole on why he lost his hand in the beginning to Neema's trap. Bolt, Corva's captain of the guard, secret lover of Raven, and undead berserker when things go south. Galen, undefeated swordsman since age 12 but wonders without a purpose, wanting to use his sword for a novel cause as he runs from a fatal mistake in his youth. Aggressively horny mullet god and faking a blind eye. Touion, the savant-like woman with oddly powerful senses for smell. Merkin - gypsy-like woodsman ninja seer.
As a fan of sword-and-sorcery, fantasy, heroic adventures, and such, there is something here: prophecy, magic, violence, subterfuge, humor. A great swordsman to Champion the Peace Bringer, warring sisters willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING for power and the throne, the abuse of magic. But the execution, the B-rate acting, the nudity, and sex scenes, don't enthrall the senses for a repeat or a recommendation. The sisters and cousins couldn't be more unrelated sans skin tone, and their life styles seem so far apart that it's hard to believe that they recently shared the kingdom with their father. The lack of the fathers and husbands, along with two bruting musclemen, let's you know the draw the creator(s) are aiming for with viewership, especially with the lingering boob shots. The men are really just objects of sex and violence, not much different than the women though they hold the power throughout. I can't recommend this, since life is short, but if you do have time to kill, and can still stomach highly processed junk, this won't kill you and you'll know for sure that it isn't the flavor you've been searching for.
