Tristan Navarre is an alcoholic, veteran soldier haunted by torture. When his beloved nephew is kidnapped, Tristan is blackmailed into spying on his hero, the Duke of Arlienne, while on a diplomatic mission to prevent war. Tristan is torn between his loyalty and his secret assignment to discover whether the sword-wielding Duke is really a man, or a woman pretending to be one. If Tristan fails, his nephew will be executed.

Tristan's search for the truth reveals a plot to incite an invasion, assassinate a Queen, and usurp a throne. But who is it's author? Is it the pious archbishop who preys on children? The sleek and sadistic earl who craves power? Or is it the oh-so-reasonable younger brother of the King himself?

The tendrils of the conspiracy are far-reaching, entangling a one-armed girl surviving by her wits; a tailor's son who must prove his manhood by the sword; and a young Queen striving to save her country. Tristan's own journey brings him face-to-face with the torturer who has inhabited his nightmares since the war, and he is forced to examine his wounded life.

Leaping from the polished stage of a magnificent theater to the blood-soaked grass of a dueling ground, from the twisted alleys of a grimy city to the glittering throne rooms of three vying nations, The Anvil of Navarre is an epic tale of love, revenge and sexual identity.

A swashbuckling adventure story . . . with a twist.
