The Exile Returns

The murder of a lawgiver sends Kynyr Maguire hunting for private justice and a way to prove that his mortal enemy, Malthus Estrobian, was responsible for it. His wife, Kady, unknowingly takes a viper into her nest when she allows her sister, Larena to live with them--Larena is sleeping with the enemy. Meanwhile, Kynyr's young friend, Cooley Blackwood, has strapped on his blades and gone looking for the man behind his father's murder, a quest that will lead him into the snares set by Malthus Estrobian. Into this dangerous mix, rides a Creeyan military intelligence officer called Stoneriver. Is he a friend? Or Kynyr's worst nightmare?
