The Complete Viper and the Urchin Series - The Viper and the Urchin Boxsets

The complete, ten book box set of the quirky steampunk fantasy series by Celine Jeanjean. Enter the richly-imagined tropical world of Damsport and dive into rollicking adventures that are packed with unforgettable characters and snappy dialogue, served up with lashes of humour. DESCRIPTION OF BOOK 1: The Bloodless Assassin As a skinny, dreadlocked girl who grew up on the street making her living as a pickpocket, Rory isn't exactly a prime candidate for swordmasters to take on as a student. Especially since she can't pay them. So what's a girl to do when she dreams of becoming a great sword fighter and adventurer? Blackmail an assassin into taking her as an apprentice, that's what. Things don't go according to plan, though. Rory's new master, Longinus, has more eccentricities than a stray dog has fleas and he's so frustrating to deal with, she frequently wants to bang her head against a brick wall. They have to put their arguments aside, though, when they both find themselves targeted by a plot aiming to destroy the city. Now not only does Rory have to figure out how to keep herself and Longinus alive, she also has to stop the conspiracy. An impossible task? It's even harder with Longinus under the delusion that he's the hero of the story.
That would be funny, if it didn't make Rory want to throttle him. Follow along with Rory and Longinus's unlikely friendship and see how on earth the two misfits get themselves out of trouble. Grab the complete series now.
