Summary
For the first time in nearly forty years, an uneasy truce has been called between two neighbouring kingdoms. The war has been long and brutal, fought over the usual things: resources, land, money…
Now, there is a chance for peace. Diplomatic talks have begun and with them, the games of skill and chance. Two teams of fencers represent their nations at this pivotal moment.
When the future of the world lies balanced on the point of a rapier, one misstep could mean ruin for all.

Critics Review
Packed with sharp edges and provocative points, Sharps may be the book that fantasy readers have been waiting for … the long-awaited gateway drug to Parker’s entire world - Pornokitsch
Sharps is a book of subtly, nuance and rather fun adventure that is masterfully executed. And it only gets better the more you think about it … Any fan of fantasy that is looking for more than the traditional absolutely needs to be reading her work. - NethspaceAbout The Author
