Kushner, Ellen - The Privilege of the Sword

Page history last edited by Annie 15 years, 7 months ago

When fifteen-year-old Katherine Talbert is summoned to spend the summer with her wealthy uncle, the Mad Duke of Tremontaine, she thinks this will be the end of the feud between the two sides of her family (and if it ends with her family's money problems being taken care of, all the better). But it's only when she arrives that she learns the Duke's intentions: to train her in the art of swordsmanship, while exposing her to the underworld of the city. A fun novel of swordsmanship, friendship, and love. While not a true historical, the setting is greatly influenced by eighteenth century London. This is the third of Kushner's Riverside books, and the first to be categorized as Young Adult.
