The protagonists of Knaves are not all anti-heroes telling their side of the story. They are also heroic people faced with hard decisions, forced to reckon with their darker selves. They are villains surprised to find they have a noble side, and they are those trying to atone for past evils. The fourteen brand new stories in Knaves, by award-winning authors including Mercedes Lackey, Cullen Bunn, Lian Hearn, Anton Strout, and many more, deal with the complex idea of morality and will make readers wonder...
What is the "right side" anyway?
Don't miss more stories of assassins, mercenaries, and thieves in the other Blackguards anthologies, Brigands and Scoundrels.
