I got off the plane at Venettia with two swords...

In a world of the global "Iron Honeycomb" all countries are isolated from others behind impenetrable geopolitical walls....

All international travel is strictly controlled or forbidden.

All firearms and long-distance weapons have been replaced with intimate hand-to-hand combat and cold steel, reminiscent of Shakespeare's Verona.

In this story set in the cruel world of Pantheon, an aging, disillusioned master swordswoman coming home from a special foreign assignment returns to the old Venice of her birth and the dissipated noble House she is sworn to protect. . . .

Discover an elegant, bloody, swashbuckling vision of the future by two-time Nebula Award Nominated author and award-winning artist Vera Nazarian.
