书籍介绍

As unwanted and rebellious boys, they find refuge in Ironhall....Years later they emerge as the finest swordsmen in the realm--A magical ritual of a sword through the heart binds each to his ward--if not the king himself, then to whomever else the monarch designates--with absolute loyalty.And the greatest Blade of them all was--and is--Sir Durendal. But a lifelong dream of protecting his beloved liege from enemies, traitors, and monsters is dashed to bits when Durendal is bonded till death to an effete noble fop at his king's orders. Yet Destiny has many strange and inscrutable plans for the young knight--for a mission, a contest, and, perhaps, a treasure await him in a faraway land. But he soon finds himself enmeshed in treason and foul intrigues, compelled to betray the king he had hoped to serve. The Blades have ways to protect their own, but death and madness haunt the path to salvation--and few ever return unscathed.

御剑士传奇第一部。
禦劍士對護主的忠誠,當面臨道德信仰崩塌時,該何去何從?一個英雄史詩神話的誕生,傳統小說的寫作模式,但古老的信仰仍令人動容。
简单又不让人感到粗糙,流畅得像一条河,一看就是老手写的书,面面俱到没有那种匪夷所思让人疑惑的点,总体来说很完美了。
铮铮铁骨 管他是否有意义,这是我们的生活,我们的信仰
给系列作开了个好头。
