Overview

The delightful charm of The Princess Bride meets the delicious bodyguard romance of From Blood and Ash in this cozy fantasy romance from New York Times bestselling author T. Kingfisher

*This beautiful hardcover edition features turquoise sprayed edges, a foil stamp on the casing, and custom endpapers.*

Halla has unexpectedly inherited the estate of a wealthy distant uncle. Unfortunately, she is also saddled with money-hungry relatives full of devious plans for how to wrest the inheritance away from her.

While hiding in her bedroom to escape her family, Halla inspects the ancient sword that's been collecting dust on the wall since before she moved in. On a whim, she unsheaths it--and suddenly a man appears in her bedroom. His name is Sarkis, he tells her, and he is an immortal warrior trapped in a prison of enchanted steel.

Sarkis is sworn to protect whoever wields the sword, and for Halla--a most unusual wielder--he finds himself fending off not grand armies and deadly assassins but instead everything from kindly-seeming bandits to roving inquisitors to her own in-laws. But as Halla and Sarkis grow closer, they overlook the biggest threat of all--the sword itself.

    It has been a lonely existence, being an immortal sword. Most owners kept him locked away for years, with occasional bouts of freedom just long enough to fight their battles. His newest bearer, a mouthy widow besieged by greedy in-laws, is different -- she treats Sarkis like a real person, rekindling life and hope in the ancient warrior. ......... Not that protecting Halla is peaceful. The unpredictable woman attracts trouble enough to keep his fighting prowess sharp. Take the gang of footpads who lured her into an alley, for example: 'Sarkis threw himself at the redhead, shouting, "Halla, run!" He was half afraid that she'd stay to discuss the problem of running, where exactly to run, and perhaps relate an anecdote about a cousin who had run somewhere and dropped dead of running-related causes, but Halla bolted like a hare. Thank the great god for that.' ......... Swordheart is a laugh-out-loud, moving, escapist read. Ms. Kingfisher has written a winner!
