Swords

Teamus “Teacup” Steeps is an acquisitioner, not a thief. Or he was. It's pretty hard to hold down any kind of job—reputable or not—when the assassin's guild thinks you've challenged their honor. (And it really doesn’t help that his friends keep bragging about it.) With the dark guild dogging his every step, Teamus decides there's no shame in seeking protection for his family in Fortrus, a city that prides itself in being “100% assassin-free.” Unfortunately, Fortrus also prides itself in stirring up the very kind of trouble that Teacup would like to avoid. SWORDS takes the loose ends from DARTS and RINGS and weaves a tapestry twice as big, exploring the themes of order and chaos on an increasingly epic scale. As Sword and Sorcery pastiche, SWORDS represents the core fantasy characters and archetypes that enthusiasts love (and hate), chips away at their hidden motivations, and reminds us that good friends are hard to come by.
