A very enjoyable story surrounding the Creole culture in New Orleans in mid 1800's. Concerns a group of master swordsmen who have been trained in France and Spain and own their own training salons in New Orleans and who swear to defend the helpless and put their expertise to good use. They are just a bit beyond the pale as far as Creole high society is concerned but one of them finds a girl who was drugged and left in a cemetery. He rescues her and so begins an intriguing, mysterious romance that involves all the maitre d'armes and some of the best Creole society with plenty of duels and concerns for etiquette of the time. Historical romance, exciting and entrancing.
