Swordsmen of the Tryst of Casr have maintained order across half the world, but sorcerers have begun killing swordsmen again, aided by traitorous swordsmen from within their own ranks.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA World on the Brink of War\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nShonsu, formerly Wallie Smith before becoming a seventh-rank swordsman and liege lord of the Tryst, must take up the seventh sword of Chioxin once more. The war he hoped would never come has arrived, forcing him to lead his army into battle against sorcerous forces that threaten to undo years of peace and law.\n\nThe story follows the army's two most junior members: Vixini, son of Shonsu, and Addis, son of Nnanji, who carries an oath of vengeance. Their success or failure will determine the fate of the world for the next thousand years, making this battle more than just another conflict—it's a fight for civilization itself.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Dave Duncan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nDave Duncan (1933-2018) was born in Scotland and educated at the University of Saint Andrews.
