THE SWORDS WOMAN - She was Tarma. Born to the Clan of the Hawk of the nomadic
Shin'a'in people she saw her entire clan slain by brigands. Vowing blood revenge upon the
murderers, she became one of the sword-sworn, the most elite of all warriors. And trained in all
forms of death-dealing combat, she took to the road in search of her enemies . . .
AND
THE SORCERESS - She was Kethry. Born to a noble house, sold into a hateful "marriage," she
fled life's harshness for the sanctuary of the White Winds, a powerful school of sorcery.
Becoming and adept, she pledged to use her talents for the greatest good. Yet unlike other
sorcerers, Kethry could use worldly weapons as well as magical skills. And when she became the
bearer of a uniquely magical sword which drew her to those in need, Kethry was led to a fateful
meeting with Tarma.
THE OATHBOUND - United by sword-spell and the will of the Goddess, Tarma and Kethry
swore a blood oath to carry on their mutual fight against evil. And together, swordmaster and
sorceress set forth to fulfill their destiny . . . .
