The Jaguar Knights

The realm's most
feared swordsman, Sir Wolf has earned his name, the "King's Killer,"
well. Unlike many of his brother Blades, however, Wolf detests his sworn
duty to do the bloody bidding of a liege he can never respect. But when
an impregnable fortress is breached and a former royal mistress is
abducted by brazen assailants, Wolf must leap into the fray.

Burdened
with the company of his disgraced brother, Sir Lynx—the only Blade ever
to lose his ward and live—and shadowed by a mysterious Inquisitor with a
secret agenda, Wolf must make his way across a landscape of nightmares
vivid and terrible enough to chill any fearless heart. For somewhere in
this dark, unfamiliar world, the fate of all Chivial hangs in the
balance—and it is the destiny of one reluctant Blade to tip the scales
to salvation . . . or doom.
