- The the series is titled the Novels of Tiger and Del.
- The author is Jennifer Roeberson-Green and the fourth book is Sword Breaker.
- She also has another book series The Chronicles of the Cheysuli, of which,
- the third book is titled The Legacy of the Sword, and a small part of the
- book is about a legendary Cheysuli crafted sword.
-
- IMHO, both book series are outstanding, however, the Cheysuli series is not
- about swords. The Novels of Tiger and Del on the other hand are about
- people called sword dancers, and their profession. It is a very interesting
- way of life and the four books have many occurences of sword fighting.
-
- Hope this helps.

- See Ya!
