Jount is the deadliest man with a blade in fable-shrouded Cayro. A killer for the cenobites of the black altar, he has long relied upon his own skills to carry out Nuet's dread tasks. Tonight, his world will come unhinged when a task for a skilled assassin becomes a matter for amateurs. Tonight, Jount will come to terms with the deadliest truth of all: behind every great man stands a line of hopeful ascendants, looking for the opportunity to shove in a well-placed knife . . .

With "A Matter For Amateurs," Daniel R. Robichaud spins a new mythic adventure about the world inhabited by deadly swordsmen and dark, magic.
