It begins in a cold and shabby tower room; where young Countess Meliara swears to her dying father that she and her brother will defend their people from the growing greed of the king. That promise leads them into a war for which they are ill prepared; a war that threatens the homes and lives of the very people they are trying to protect.
But war is simple compared to what follows; when the bloody fighting is done and a fragile peace is at hand. Although she wants to turn her back on politics and the crown; Meliara is summoned to the royal palace. There; she soon discovers; friends and enemies look alike; and intrigue fills the dance halls and the drawing rooms. If she is to survive; Meliara must learn a whole new way of fighting--with wit and words and secret alliances. In war; at least; she knew whom she could trust. Now she can trust no one.
The Firebird edition of Crown Duel combines the hardcover editions of Crown Duel and Court Duel-and features a never-before-published story by Sherwood Smith!...more ( # )
