The Phoenix Guards
SWORDS AND GLORY!
A thousand years
before the birth of Vlad Taltos, the Dragaeran Empire is a hotbed of
intrigue, sorcery, intrigue, swashbuckling adventure, and intrigue. For
those who would be heroes, it is a delightful time to be alive – and an
easy place to die.
Khaavren of the House of Tiassa is a son of landless
nobility, possessor of a good sword and "tolerably well acquainted with
its use." Along with three loyal friends, he enthusiastically seeks out
danger and excitement. But in a realm renowned for repartee and
betrayals, where power is as mutable as magic, a young man like
Khaavren, newly come from the countryside, had best be wary. His life
depends on it. And so does the future of Dragaera.
When swordplay beckons, it's all for one – and one for... THE PHOENIX GUARDS
