Enter a world of darkness and danger, honour, daring and destiny in David Chandler's magnificent epic trilogy: The Ancient Blades.

It takes a thief to destroy a demon...

Circumstance made him a criminal.
Destiny may make him a hero.

As a thief, Malden is unparalleled in the Free City of Ness. But he has no desire to take up arms against the forces of horrific evil. By saving the life of the knight Croy, however, Malden has bound himself to an ancient, noble brotherhood...and he now possesses a magical weapon forged at the dawn of time - one of only seven swords capable of destroying demons.

Malden fears accompanying Croy and the barbarian Moerget on their quest to dispatch a foul creature of nightmare...nor does he want to disturb the vengeful dead. But with an assassin on his heels, the young cutpurse is left with no choice but to follow. And there is the comely sorceress, Cythera, to consider - promised to Croy but in love with Malden - not to mention the fabulous treasure rumoured to be waiting in the inescapable depths of the demon's lair...
