Wicked bronze ambition

by Glen Cook

Garrett is a human detective in the fantastical city of TunFaire. Rumors are spreading that someone is organizing a Tournament of Swords, a brutal contest that magically compels the children of sorcerers to battle until only one is left alive. The winner will absorb the power from those he has killed and thus become a demigod.
