À la pointe de l'épée

The brilliant swordsman Richard St. Vier can kill any man for the right price, but he prefers to stay out of the affairs of the nobility. When a bitter political dispute boils over, he finds himself caught in a web of conspiracy far more dangerous than any duel. To survive the city's treacherous social landscape, he must rely on his sharp wits, his even sharper blade, and his mysterious lover, Alec.
