The Wicked Skill
In this fantasy of manners we have two displaced young kings, one shopkeeper's daughter who went away an ugly duckling and returns five years later a beautiful and highly skilled swan, and a young queen who is master of all she surveys . . . until she isn't. The result is the last summer of love and adventure on the eve of cataclysm.The Wicked Skill, from a poem by John Donne, duels and dances with discovery of the many facets of love-set against a background of revolution, one conducted through manners, the other by swashbuckling youths who think life is a game . . .

Über den Autor
Sherwood Smith studied in Europe before earning a Masters in history, afterward working as a governess, a bartender, and an electrical supply verifier-not all at the same time-until she capped quotations of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by a screenwriter, who promptly offered her a job. She wore various hats in the film industry before she turned to writing books. She teaches writing at Viable Paradise Writing Workshop on Martha's Vineyard when there isn't a pandemic going on. Website at sherwoodsmith.net, and she has a Patreon, where future volumes are being read a chapter a day.
