Swordplay, magic, intrigue and friendships stronger than iron: the
first volume in the new swashbuckling fantasy series by the
bestselling author of The Greatcoats. Damelas Chademantaigne picked
a poor night to flee a judicial duel. He has precious little hope
of escaping the wrath of the Vixen, the most feared duellist in the
entire city, until he stumbles through the stage doors of the
magnificent Operato Belleza and tricks his way into the company of
actors. An archaic law provides a temporary respite from his
troubles - until one night a ghostly voice in his head causes
Damelas to fumble his lines, inadvertently blurting out a dreadful
truth: the city's most legendary hero may actually be a traitor and
a brutal murderer. With only the help of his boisterous and lusty
friend Bereto, a beautiful assassin whose target may well be
Damelas himself, and a company of misfit actors who'd just as soon
see him dead, this failed grandson of two Greatcoats must somehow
find within himself the courage to dig up long-buried truths before
a ruthless band of bravos known as the Iron Orchids come for his
head. Oh, and there's still that matter of the Vixen waiting to
duel him . . .
