<b>Two siblings. </b><br> <b>Outcasts for life.... together. </b><br> <b>What could possibly go wrong? </b><br><br> Vocho and Kacha are champion duelists: a brother and sister known for the finest swordplay in the city of Reyes. Or at least they used to be-until they were thrown out of the Duelist's Guild. <br><br> As a last resort, they turn reluctant highwaymen. But when they pick the wrong carriage to rob, their simple plans to win back fame and fortune go south fast. <br><br> After barely besting three armed men and a powerful magician, Vocho and Kacha make off with an immense locked chest. But the contents will bring them much more than they've bargained for when they find themselves embroiled in a dangerous plot to return an angry king to power.... <br><br> <b><i>Swords and Scoundrels</i> is the first book in The Duelist's Trilogy -- a tale of death, magic, and family loyalty.</b>
