This was a pretty good follow up to Sword-Dancer and I enjoyed it all, except the very ending. I thought it was rather confusing (although this may have been deliberate). However, it did make me want to start on the next book immediately so I guess that might have been the hook. Enjoyable series thus far. (

This is the sequel to Sword-Dancer.

I found this to be the most compelling book of the Sword series. It seemed to take a decidely more somber tone than the first, or successive novels. (

Epigraph

Dedication

For Barry Malzberg: Who discovered me in the Scott Meredith slush pile and helped my dream come true (while warning me it might); and Mark O'Green: Who made me write it again and again, (and again), until I got it right.

First words

"Flea bitten. . . jug-headed. . .lop eared--" I sucked in a deeper breath, "--thrice cursed son of a Salset goat!"
