Origins is the first chapter in the ongoing story. it sets up the life of Kamau ( the little boy) and follows him throughout it, which is only told through our main character the circumstances which Kama finds himself in ( the story). It is a world that not only sets up a realistic surrounding in this fantasy, but also grounded in reality tethered to actual historical reference from an interesting point of world history. Although a fictional tale, Sons of Fate is the lost chapter in the history of feudal Japan. The missing link that explains the circumstance of why the Tokugawa Shogunate closed its doors to the western world for 200 years.. wrapped in a east meets samurai epic. A little boy, an old man and the swing of a sword that could pierce the universe itself.
