The Jaguar Knights. A Chronicle of the King's Blades

The realm's most feared swordsman, Sir Wolf has earned his name, the "King's Killer, " well. Unlike many of his brother Blades, however, Wolf detests his sworn duty to do the bloody bidding of a liege he can never respect. But when an impregnable fortress is breached and a former royal mistress is abducted by brazen assailants, Wolf must leap into the fray. Burdened with the company of his disgraced brother, Sir Lynx-the only Blade ever to lose his ward and live-and shadowed by a mysterious Inquisitor with a secret agenda, Wolf must make his way across a landscape of nightmares vivid and terrible enough to chill any fearless heart.
For somewhere in this dark, unfamiliar world, the fate of all Chivial hangs in the balance-and it is the destiny of one reluctant Blade to tip the scales to salvation .
