One Velvet Glove: A Tale of The King's Blades
by Dave Duncan
So what happens next? Sir Rhys, Sir Sharp, and Sir Trusty—three of the world’s greatest swordsmen―are released from the Royal Guard in their twenties with no pension, no job, and no money. Rhys’s father is the great Blade hero, Sir Spender, who finds himself in the same predicament. Spender knows of a fabulous treasure that was lost more than thirty years ago and thinks he knows where it may be. Why shouldn’t the four of them go and look for it?
But King Ambrose also remembers that treasure and believes it belongs to him. Why shouldn’t he try to stop them?
