"Vlad grew up working in his father's restaurant in Adrilankha, the capital city of the Dragaeran Empire. As an Easterner, Vlad was a second-class citizen and frequently bullied by Orca youths. Vlad's father bought a baronetcy from House Jhereg in hopes of gaining acceptance from Dragaeran society, nearly bankrupting himself. He tried to teach Vlad to turn his back on his Eastern heritage and embrace Dragaeran culture, but Vlad despised the Dragaerans. Instead, he studied with his grandfather, whom he calls Noish-pa, to learn the Eastern arts of fencing and witchcraft. With his Noish-pa's help, Vlad acquired his familiar, a jhereg he named Loiosh, and raised him from a hatchling. Vlad's father fell ill and died after refusing treatment with witchcraft, and Vlad ran the restaurant for a short time before entering the criminal world of House Jhereg as a low-level enforcer."

I am curious, will this be like Forgotten Realms ( Drizzt and co ) where there is a lot of magic ( Dark elves mostly ), but there is mainly a display of melee/close calls where the battle scenes are intense ? The magic will of course throw a twist into the sway of things, and depending on the author it can be conducive to the success/downfall of the book. I really enjoyed most of the Drizzt books, to give you an idea of my interests.
