Kings bow down to the medieval mafia in a realm where power is earned by strength instead of gifted by blood.

All over the Emerald Kingdom, crime rules the crown. The king and queen decree laws that are so weak the royal guards barely heed them. On the cobblestone streets, respected guilds bound by blood oaths are the realm’s true power. The men and women who lead them are called Swordfathers.

Each guild wields a unique strength. One flaunts its muscle by sparring with anvils instead of swords. Another casts spells using daggers as wands, sometimes while the blade is plunged in their enemy. A third guild controls dragons as deadly as they are vulnerable. The guilds’ equal power has kept their blades sheathed for many years.

War nears as their fragile peace crumbles. Dark lies disguised as tempting gifts trap the unwary in a web of debt. Swordfathers with wits sharper than knives ruin their enemy’s web while spinning their own. In Masters of Kings, the first critical threads are cut apart to launch the war that will decide which Swordfather rises to dominate the medieval mafia.
