A series of LowFantasy adventure novels by David R. Witanowski, highly based on the medieval BeastFable of the same name, but unique in that the characters are human beings rather than animals. The plot of the series revolves around the character of Reynard, who begins the story as a LoveableRogue who steals from the rich and . . . pockets the loot. All is well and good, but then he sets his sights on robbing the beautiful [[LivingMacGuffin Countess Persephone]] and HilarityEnsues, sometimes [[RealityEnsues more realistically than the reader might initially expect.]] The tone of the series is deeply seated in GreyAndGrayMorality, and occasionally borders on outright {{Horror}} whenever [[MixandMatchCritters the more fantastical elements of the books]] [[HotSkittyonWailordAction rear their ugly heads,]] but in general it stays true to its {{Swashbuckler}} roots. You can expect at least one DuelToTheDeath per book.
The current entries in the series:
* "Reynard the Fox" (2011)
* "The Baron of Maleperduys" (2012)
* "Defender of the Crown" (2013)
!!"The Reynard Cycle" contains examples of:
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Isengrim No-Father's sword, Right-Hand. On several occasions it cuts through (or breaks) swords of inferior make.
**Arguably, all of the swords wielded by the blood-guard are this.
* Affably Evil: Both Duke Nobel and Count Bricemer fit the bill.
* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: A major part of Duke Nobel's plan in the first book. [[spoiler: It works.]]
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler: Duke Nobel gets everything he wanted by the end of the first book.]]
* BeastFable: The series is very clearly inspired by medieval folk stories of the same name. Reynard's origin as a [[FantasticFoxes Fantastic Fox]] is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in his first appearance, though it's not hard to guess the origins of many of the other characters: Isengrim is a wolf, Tybalt a cat, Chanticleer a rooster, Nobel a lion, etc. etc.
* BerserkButton: Reynard clearly has one, and it appears to be tied to the guilt he feels due to [[spoiler: not being able to protect his mother when he was young.]]
* TheBigGuy: Bruin, who is a [[BoisterousBruiser Class 4]]. His hands are described as being larger than the protagonist's head.
* CatsAreMean: Tybalt (who calls himself the Prince of Cats), is a selfish, callous, {{Jerkass}}.
* TheDreaded: The Calvarians are regularly described as being the terror of the [[GrimUpNorth North.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Tybalt. Whenever he gets even remotely close to [[PetTheDog petting the dog]], he finds another [[KickTheDog one to kick.]]
* LoveableRogue: Reynard himself in the first book. [[HeWhoFightsMonsters Subverted in the sequels.]]
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Played straight with [[spoiler: Reynard]]
* YoureInsane: Tybalt levels this at Reynard during one of climactic sequences of ''Reynard the Fox.'' Crazy like a fox . . .
** Later, in ''Defender of the Crown'' [[spoiler: Isengrim does the same. Whether he is right or not is still up for debate.]]
