Description
A remarkable début written by a former top-level international competitive fencer and set in a world of passion and personal sacrifice that few outsiders ever experience.
Francis is a heartless shell of a man. Attractive, intelligent, cultured and independently wealthy, he seems to have it all, yet he struggles to find meaning and happiness in life. Emotionally damaged by his father, a cold and ruthless fencing fanatic determined that Francis and his older brother will be crowned world champions, Francis’ real ambition in life was to become a concert pianist. A true calling that shall never be realised due to the damage that years of fencing inflicted to his hand.
When his all-consuming hatred leads him to the fencing world championship, he must finally confront his father and his vindictive brother and come to terms with the person that he has become.
Advance Praise
“A beautifully written page-turner. It made me feel like it was me fencing in the world championship. . . “
Maya Lawrence, United States Fencing National Team and medallist at the 2012 London Olympic Games
