The outcome is invariably the same: triumph or disaster, life or death...It is 1868; Spain teeters on the brink of revolution. Jaime Astarloa is a master-fencer of the old school, priding himself on the precision, dignity and honour of his ancient art; his friends spend their days in cafes discussing plots at court, but Jaime's obsession is to perfect the irresistible sword thrust. Then Adela de Otero, violet-eyed and enigmatic, appears at his door.  When Jaime takes her on as a pupil he finds himself embroiled in dark political intrigues against which his old-fashioned values are no protection.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43851556094171,"sku":"9781860464553-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9781860464553-us-300.jpg?v=1672783547","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781860464553-secondhand-the-fencing-master","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
