Dagger

The first six chapters of this novel are the same as the story "Inheritor" in Thieves' World 10: Aftermath (1987).

The dagger's blade was double-edged with magic... and danger. And Samlor hil Samt was its new owner. Caravan master, warrior extraordinary, Samlor had come to the foul city of Sanctuary to protect his niece's claim in a secret inheritance. Yet something dark and savage lurked in the shadowed streets – something evil – born of the mystical blade Samlor dared to wield...

Now, in the fifth full-length novel inspired by Thieves' World, acclaimed author David Drake takes his remarkable warrior, Samlor, on the deadliest of adventures – filled with high royal intrigue, low-down danger, and scintillating sorcery!
