They are stand-alone books that overlap, so it's best to still read in order of publishing. It's the stories of graduates of a swordfighting school that the king or rich people can buy to be magically bound to them. Sky of Swords was frustrating though. Can't tell you (spoil you) why. And, FYI, don't touch West of January with ten foot pole. http://www.daveduncan.com/books.html

I can't remember if I read this whole series or not. If I did, it was less memorable than his later work. You really should look into the Blades series as well. Yey Dave!
