The city of Perimadeia has fallen. Bardas Loredan, the man who was supposed to save it, is now living on the Island — a recluce, living apart from his family in the mountains, with only a young apprentice for company. His life as a fencer-at-law is over. Instead, Loredon spends his days perfecting the art of bow-making. But his isolation will not last forever; and when the Island comes under attack, his skills as a soldier and general are once again called upon.

"Courtly intrigue, intelligent prose, and complicated plotting." --- graspingforthewind.com on The Folding Knife
"I have reviewed books before that I thought might someday be found to have achieved greatness.... But I am trying to be precise in my use of the word when I tell you that K.J. Parker is writing work after work that demands to be placed in that category. " --- Orson Scott Card on The Engineer Trilogy
"It's a dark, bleak and fiercely intelligent portrait of the human condition." --- SFX on The Company
