Synopsis

Welcome to Tremontaine, where ambition, love affairs, and rivalries dance with deadly results. In this novel Ellen Kushner and a team of writers return readers to the world of scandal and swordplay introduced in her cult-classic novel Swordspoint. Readers familiar with the series will find a welcome homecoming while new fans will learn what makes Riverside a place they will want to visit again and again. Tremontaine follows Diane, Duchess Tremontaine, whose beauty is matched only by her cunning; Rafe Fenton, a handsome young scholar with more passion than sense; Ixkaab Balam, a tradeswoman from afar with skill for swords and secrets; and Micah, a gentle genius whose discoveries herald revolution. Sparks fly as these four lives intersect in a world where politics is everything, and outcasts are the tastemakers. Tread carefully, dear reader, and keep your wit as sharp as your steel.

Originally presented in serial form by Serial Box Publishing, Tremontaine is brought to you by Ellen Kushner, Joel Derfner, Racheline Maltese, Paul Witcover, Tessa Gratton, and Karen Lord.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Kyri on August 01, 2022

I enjoy this shared-world series, despite the generally sluttish and cruel nature of characters and events and the mixed bag of writing quality. Unfortunately, in this one my favorite character got killed off, so we'll see if anybody more interesting appears in the final volume which I'll be reading......more

Goodreads review by Tanya on June 06, 2018

Micah began to feel more and more uneasy. It was as if their words made one pattern while their bodies made completely different ones — discordant, inelegant, nothing like the perfect logic of geometry and equations. The game of Social Graces as Diane's guests played it was frustrating and jangling......more

Goodreads review by Theo on September 20, 2020

I enjoyed it a little more than the second season, but less than the first. The pacing seemed weird - events that should have been emotional climaxes, like (view spoiler)[Will's memorial (hide spoiler)] , were barely given space to breathe, whereas lots of boring nonsense was overwritten, I guess to add to the sense of convoluted......more
