![]() ![]() ![]() Young Lord Michael Godwin is so taken by these romantic figures that he studies the art himself until challenged by the best of them. In the highly stratified world of Kushner's nameless old city, the aristocrats living in fine mansions on the Hill settle their differences by sending to the thieves' den of Riverside for swordsmen who will fight to the death for a point of someone else's honor. Within this elite, dangerous world, Richard St Vier is the undisputed master, as skilled as he is ruthless- until a death by the sword is met with outrage instead a of awe, and the city discovers that the line between hero and villain can be altered in the blink of an eye. Even the nobles on the Hill turn to duels to settle their disputes. On the treacherous streets of Riverside, a man lives and dies by the sword. ![]() Published by Spectra on December 18, 2007 Swordspoint (Riverside, #1) by Ellen Kushner ![]()
