The Fall of The Kings

This stunning follow-up to Ellen Kushnerâ€™s cult-classic novel, Swordspoint, is set in the same world of labyrinthine intrigue, where sharp swords and even sharper wits rule. Against a rich tapestry of artists and aristocrats, students, strumpets, and spies, a gentleman and a scholar will find themselves playing out an ancient drama destined to explode their societyâ€™s smug view of itselfâ€“and reveal that sometimes the best price of uncovering history is being forced to repeat itâ€¦.

Tormented by his twin duties to his family and his own bright spirit, he seeks solace in the University. There he meets Basil St. Cloud, a brilliant and charismatic teacher ruled by a passion for knowledgeâ€“and a passion for the ancient kings. Of course, everyone now knows that the wizards were charlatans and the kings their dupes and puppets. Only Basil ins not convincedâ€“nor is he convinced that the city has seen its last kingâ€¦
