Fencing is not a game but a science. The outcome is invariably the same: triumph or disaster, life or death...
It is 1868. Spain teeters on the brink of revolution. Jaime Astarloa is a master-fencer of the old school, priding himself on the precision, dignity and honour of his ancient art. his friends spend their days in cafes discussing plots at court, but Jaimes obsession is to perfect the irresistible sword thrust. Then Adela de Otero, violet-eyed and enigmatic, appears at his door. When Jaime takes her on as a pupil he finds himself embroiled in dark political intrigues against which his old-fashioned values are no protection.
