Publisher's Note
In the three years since Tiger and Del's fateful meeting, these mismatched companions have become true partners: their alliance forged by blood, magic, danger, adventure ... and perhaps something more. Exiled from both the North and the South, without home or duty, the two have now set sail to search for Tiger's homeland. He has been told he resembles the people who come from the island of Skandi, and now, nearly forty years after his birth, Tiger seeks the truth. But no journey is ever without complications for Tiger and Del. Shipwrecked, nearly drowned, abducted by pirates, bedeviled by magic and those who would use the pair for their own ends, the Southron sword-dancer and the Northern sword-singer finally do arrive at Skandi, but as captives of a pirate captain who plans to extort one of the wealthiest families on the island by claiming that Tiger is their long-lost heir. With Del held as insurance against his good behavior, Tiger has no choice but to cooperate. But once he meets the family matriarch, his innate honesty leads to a surprising possibility: that Tiger might in fact be this long-lost heir. But before that possibility can be resolved, Tiger must face another truth about himself which may prove more dangerous than any sword-dance: his own personal brand of magic, long denied by Tiger, is recognized by another man as something very special.

Swordfighters Tiger and Del return in this all-new swashbuckling adventure--filled with all the dramatic action, danger, magic, and the crackling repartee and verbal fireworks that characterize the national bestselling Sword series. Sword-Born is the latest book in this continuing tale of a powerful friendship that transforms into something stronger, as two strong, opinionated people from very different societies live and fight alongside each other...even as their views of themselves and the world around them change and grow. 1.7 million copies of Jennifer Roberson's DAW books in print! All four books in the Sword series have been national bestsellers! A swashbuckling, intelligent fantasy that will appeal to sword and sorcery fans everywhere. Magnificent cover art by Jim Burns.

Industry Reviews
YA-Del and Tiger have appeared in Sword-Dancer (1986), Sword-Maker (1989), Sword-Breaker (1991), and Sword-Singer (1986, all DAW). However, readers can pick up the saga with Sword-Born and not feel as if they are missing anything. There is enough background provided in context to fill in the subtext of Tiger and Del's multilayered relationship without breaking up the narrative. In this book, both partners are searching for a home. Del believes that the truth of Tiger's origins can be found on the island of Skandl, so the two set sail on an ill-fated voyage. Shipwrecked and captured by pirates, Tiger is forced to claim the place of a long-lost grandson in the home of the first of Skandl's Eleven Families. Even worse, a mage claims to recognize his own magic in Tiger. Trapped in a world they are only slowly coming to understand, the pair must find a way out without losing their honor or their lives. Since this story is told through Tiger's eyes, readers only learn about Skandl as he does. Although the pace is somewhat slow, Roberson entices readers to figure out the many facets of the quandary Tiger and Del face. The final pages set up the forthcoming book, Sword-Sworn.-Susan Salpini, Kings Park Library, Burke, VA
