Colours In The Steel by K. J. Parker

Description: Bardas Loredan is an advocate in the city of Perimadeia, where legal disputes are settled by fencing duels. When he kills the brillaint lawyer Alvise, he decides simply to leave the profession. But it's not that simple.

The city comes under seige, from a horde of barbarians, and the command of the city's defence is given to the last army commander, one Bardas Loredan.
