The Two of Swords: Volume Three (Two of Swords #3)

'Skilful plotting and rich scene-setting' - GUARDIAN

'Parker's skilful control of pacing, expert rendering of characters, and subtle sense of humour add depth and believability' - Library Journal

A soldier with a gift for archery. A woman who kills without care. Two brothers, both unbeatable generals, now fighting for opposing armies. No one in the vast and once glorious United Empire remains untouched by the rift between East and West, and the war has been fought for as long as anyone can remember. Some still survive who know how it was started, but no one knows how it will end. Except, perhaps, the Two of Swords.

The third and final volume of a sweeping and ingeniously plotted epic fantasy from the World Fantasy Award-winning author K. J. Parker and his most ambitious work to date. This is a story of a war on a grand scale, told through the eyes of soldiers, politicians, victims and heroes.
