The first book in the Sword-Dancer Saga introduces Tiger–a legendary Southron sword Dancer, and Del–a Northern woman with a sword who “claims” to be a Sword-dancer herself.
Jennifer Roberson explores sexism with gifted vision in this series. All through the eyes of Tiger–a man’s man in a man’s world. Battling the desert, decadent Emir’s, slaver’s, and a painful past; we see Tiger grow past his upbringing to fill the shoes of his legend.
A truly wonderful book and series, with great cultural details and character’s you grow to love; I highly recommend reading anything by Jennifer Roberson.
