J. F. Rivkin


Silverglass

Silverglass: Book 1

J. F. Rivkin

The life of a sword-for-hire was often uncertain, but brazen and beautiful Corson brenn Torisk would have no other.

When Corson's services as a guard were engaged by the Lady Nyctasia, it seemed that fortune was finally smiling upon her. The Lady had a ready wit, an open purse and a reputation for sorcery which she assured Corson was quite undeserved.

While Corson had little liking for magic and still less for magicians, it seemed too good an opportunity to refuse. But when her employer's enemies proved to be as numerous as her coins, Corson decided that any aid was welcome--even the Lady's sorcery.

Web of Wind

Silverglass: Book 2

J. F. Rivkin

Riddles, Treasure, and Sorcery

"Here is a web to catch the wind
And a loom to weave a lay.
Riddles play on words, my friend--
Play on these and play you may."

This simple riddle was the clue that started the sword-for-hire Corson and her sorceress companion, the Lady Nyctasia, on a hunt for the greatest treasure ever hidden.

But this long-abandoned treasure is the hoard of the dread Cymvelan Circle, whose scattered members are coming together again to claim what is theirs...

Witch of Rhostshyl

Silverglass: Book 3

J. F. Rivkin

With only her sorcerer's powers and the swordswoman Corson to protect her, the lady Nyctasia was forced to flee her beloved city of Rhostshyl. Solving riddles and casting spells, fighting pirates and helping escaped slaves, sword and sorcery have stood back-to-back dueling with advfenture.

But now, Nyc's beloved city needs her. This is no street brawl, but a civil war, which Nyc must win... or all is lost!

Mistress of Ambiguities

Silverglass: Book 4

J. F. Rivkin

Her beloved city in dire straits after a bloody civil war, the spellcasting Lady Nyctasia is forced to seek alliance with a neighboring state. But the rumored marriage-treaty has loyal swordswoman Corson whetting her blade... matrimony being no proof against murder.

Between Nyc and the cloaked assassins stands only a tormented nobleman--whose enigmatic past bears close examination indeed...
