Book description
Sir Stalwart and Emerald set off for an ancient lord's house known as
Smealey Hall, where they believe the source of evil - in the form of
murder - lies, and along the way they are joined by Badger, a
Blade-in-training. Dave Duncan, born in Scotland in 1933, is a
Canadian citizen. He received his diploma from Dundee High School and
got his college education at the University of Saint Andrews. He moved
to Canada in 1955, where he still lives with his wife. He has three
grown children and four grandchildren. He spent thirty years as a
petroleum geologist.
He has had dozens of fantasy and science fiction novels published,
among them A ROSE-RED CITY, MAGIC CASEMENT and THE REAVER ROAD, as well
as a highly praised historical novel, DAUGHTER OF TROY, published, for
commercial reasons, under the pseudonym Sarah B. Franklin. He also
published the "Longdirk" series of novels, DEMON SWORD, DEMON
KNIGHT and DEMON RIDER, under the name Ken Hood.

In the Fall of 2007, Duncan's 2006 novel, CHILDREN OF CHAOS, published
