Published under the K.J. Parker name, The Two of Swords follows a war between two nearly identical empires that has ground on for so long that nobody quite remembers why it started. Each section shifts to a different character caught up in the conflict, from soldiers and spies to craftsmen and card players.
The serialized structure gives the story a mosaic quality, with each piece adding a new angle on the same sprawling war. The three collected volumes bring the full narrative together.
