Sword-Bearer marks a return to the vivid world of Jennifer Roberson’s highly popular Sword-Dancer saga, featuring iconic characters Tiger—the South’s most famous and gifted sword-dancer—and Del, a Northern-born woman and expert sword-singer.

But is it lies when a man comes calling and says the End of Days is nearing? That you must do everything within your power to stop it? Even when you have no powers. You are, after all, just a human.
Or do you have no powers? Are you just a human? And what the hell are you supposed to do about preventing hell-on-earth when you're fresh out of prison, a biker ex-con who can't even vote?
But the man who bears the message, the mission, is not a stranger shouting on a street corner while hoisting a sign promising death and damnation. He is someone you've known since boyhood, someone you trust implicitly. Someone who has never, ever lied to you. He's Grandaddy.
But who is he...]]> Mon, 25 Nov 2019 15:07:10 +0200 https://suspense.library.land/jennifer-roberson/586340-sinners_and_saints.html https://suspense.library.land/jennifer-roberson/586340-sinners_and_saints.html

Having freed himself from the stone forests of Skandi, Tiger and Del return to the South. They originally fled the South because, to save Del’s life, Tiger broke his vows as a seventh level sword-dancer, declaring himself elaii-ali-ma. Every sword-dancer in the South, even ones he once considered his friends, are now bound to kill him. They don’t even have to invite him into the circle, where sword-dances are usually conducted, they can execute him any way they deem the simplest. Tiger returns to this land, originally, because the South is his home and he hopes to rebuild the shodo at Alimat, where he was trained. Soon he is haunted by dreams, dreams of a skeleton, of a woman’s voice that commands him — "Find me," she says, "And take up the sword."]]> Fri, 27 Nov 1998 03:43:09 +0200
