Enter a world of darkness and danger, honour, daring and destiny in David Chandler's magnificent epic trilogy: The Ancient Blades.One thief against the world...When allies become enemies, to whom can a clever thief turn?Armed with one of seven swords forged at the dawn of time, Malden was chosen by Fate to act as saviour...and failed dismally. Deceived by the trickery of his one-time ally, Morget, the young thief employed his newfound might to help destroy the naturally barrier protecting the kingdom of Skrae - and now there will be no stopping Morget's barbarian hordes from pillaging the land. Suddenly friends and former supporters alike covet the young hero's magic while seeking his destruction - from the treacherous King and leaders of the City of Ness to the rogue knight Cloy, who owes Malden his life.It will take more than Malden's makeshift army of harlots and cutpurses to preserve a realm. Luckily the sorceress Cythera fights at his side, along with the ingenious, irascible dwarf Slag. And the wily thief still has a desperate and daring plan or two up his larcenous sleeve...

Thief in the Night

Enter a world of darkness and danger, honour, daring and destiny in David Chandler's magnificent epic trilogy: The Ancient Blades. Croy is a knight errant, and bearer of an ancient blade with a powerful destiny. He's also kind of, well, dim. He believes in honour. He believes that people are fundamentally good, and will do the right thing if you give them a chance. Unfortunately, Croy lives in the city of Ness. A thriving medieval city of fifty thousand people, none of whom are fundamentally even decent, and who will gleefully stab you in the back. If you give them a chance. Ness is also the home to Malden. Malden is a thief. He lives by his wits, disarming cunning traps, sneaking past sleeping guards, and running away very fast whenever people are trying to kill him. Which is often. One time Malden stole a crown. And then he had to steal it back to avoid a civil war. Croy got the credit, of course, because he's a noble knight. Another time the two of them went into the tomb of an ancient warrior race, and Croy accidentally started a barbarian invasion. Guess who had to clean that up? They probably wouldn't be friends at all if it wasn't for Cythera. Cythera is a witch. A mostly-good witch. And despite herself she can't stop thieves and knights falling in love with her... At the same time.

Den of Thieves

<p>John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough, was probably the greatest soldier that Britain has produced. Field Marshal Montgomery described him as "a miltiary genius" and the Duke of Wellington could "conceive of nothing finer than Marlborough at the head of an English army". Beginning with Marlborough's early career under Charles II, David Chandler, formerly head of War Studies at Sandhurst, goes on to consider in detail the Battle of Sedgemoor, the first engagement in which Marlborough played a leading role. Following a comprehensive chapter on 18th-century warfare, including the formalized patterns of attack and defence that were so much a part of it, he gives an illuminating account of the successive Continental campaigns and the bloody encounters: Donauworth, Hoschstadt, Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet. Marlborough was also famous for this diplomatic skills, in particular with recalcitrant allies and home governments. Taken with his genuine compassion for - and understanding of - the men under his command, he raised the standard of British warfare and his military skills have never been surpassed.</p>
