They are perhaps the most dangerous men in New Orleans, skilled swordsmen who play by no rules but their own -- heroes to many, wicked to some, irresistible to the women they love . . .

Lisette Moisant is a widow, courtesy of the swordsmanship
of
Caid O'Neill, one of the city's legendary maitres d'armes.
He bested her loathsome husband in a duel, but now she is a
pawn of schemers who wish to steal her fortune and see her
dead. It is Caid to whom she turns for protection, and
guilt
leaves him no recourse but to agree to Lisette's request.
But soon a whispering campaign is being waged against them,
suggesting the two plotted to kill Lisette's husband all
along, that she is a woman of loose morals and he is
nothing
short of a murderer. In a society where reputation is
everything, the scandal and accusations threaten Lisette
and
Caid with ruin, and the person responsible will stop at
nothing until they have paid with their lives.
