Enter a world of darkness and danger, honour, daring and destiny in David Chandlers magnificent epic trilogy: The Ancient Blades.
One thief against the world
When allies become enemies, to whom can a clever thief turn
Armed with one of seven swords forged at the dawn of time, Malden was chosen by Fate to act as saviourand failed dismally. Deceived by the trickery of his one-time ally, Mrget, the young thief employed his newfound might to help destroy the naturally barrier protecting the kingdom of Skrae and now there will be no stopping Mrgets barbarian hordes from pillaging the land. Suddenly friends and former supporters alike covet the young heros magic while seeking his destruction from the treacherous King and leaders of the City of Ness to the rogue knight Cloy, who owes Malden his life.
It will take more than Maldens makeshift army of harlots and cutpurses to preserve a realm. Luckily the sorceress Cythera fights at his side, along with the ingenious, irascible dwarf Slag. And the wily thief still has a desperate and daring plan or two up his larcenous sleeve
Praise for David Chandler [who also writes as David Wellington]:
Wellington is a vivid storyteller, whether describing gruesome attacks, expressing the subtle attraction between man and woman, or chronicling the life of a troubled teen. Associated Press
Terrific; a literate, smartly constructed page-turner. . . Wellington again proves himself as one of the very best authors of contemporary horror fiction. Bookgasm.com
The taut narrative never slackens, providing thrilling entertainment for readers who like their horror raw and bloody. Publishers Weekly
