Book description
Swordspoint: A Masterclass in Mannerpunk Magic
Ellen Kushner's Swordspoint isn't just an audiobook-it's an experience. Narrated by the author herself alongside a full cast, this cult classic redefines fantasy with razor-sharp wit and elegant prose that cuts deeper than any blade.
Set in the treacherous city of Riverside, where duels settle disputes and reputation is everything, we follow Richard St. Vier-the undisputed master of the sword. But when a nobleman's death sparks outrage instead of admiration, the line between hero and villain blurs in an instant. Kushner crafts a world where political intrigue, passionate affairs, and deadly rivalries collide with stunning precision.
What sets Swordspoint apart is its unique "mannerpunk" style-a fantasy of manners that feels both timeless and refreshingly original. The writing is lush without being heavy, clever without being pretentious. Kushner's background as a radio host and performer shines through in every line reading, bringing characters to life with theatrical flair and emotional depth.
This isn't your typical sword-swinging adventure. It's a sophisticated melodrama filled with unexpected humor, intricate plotting, and unforgettable characters who linger long after the final chapter. The bonus stories add even more richness to an already immersive world.
For fans of intelligent fantasy, compelling narration, and stories that trust their audience to keep up, Swordspoint delivers on every front. This Audie Award winner proves that fantasy can be both literary and thrilling-without sacrificing an ounce of style.
Don't just listen to audiobooks. Experience them. Swordspoint awaits.
