Book description
Thief, liar, assassin, whore. Tale-bearer, spy, extortionist,
confidante, scandal-smoother. A knife in the dark, poison in a cup, a
shield and a defense on the battlefield as well as in the glittering
whirl of Court...This, then, is the Left Hand.
The Left Hand does what must be done to cement the hold of the
monarch on the realm, to protect the sovereign we swear fealty to -
even at the cost of our own lives. Even at the cost of our honour.
There is only one word never applied to the Left Hand, only one thing
a Left Hand has never been...Traitor.
Tristan d'Arcenne killed his King. Now he is faced with murder,
betrayal, war, and the mistrust of his Queen. She should mistrust him,
for there is nothing d'Arcenne will not do.
The Bandit King approaches . . .
Lilith Saintcrow was born in New Mexico, bounced around the world as

old. She currently lives in Vancouver, WA with two small children and a
houseful of cats. Oh. And a husband too.
