Swordheart

by T. Kingfisher · 2018

When humble housekeeper Halla inherits a crumbling estate—and a cadre of greedy relatives—she discovers an ancient sword hanging on the wall. Desperate, she draws it, and the blade releases Sarkis, an immortal warrior bound to protect its wielder. Suddenly, Halla’s life is besieged not by armies but by scheming in‑laws, charming bandits, and relentless inquisitors, all while the enchanted steel itself threatens to consume them both. As Sarkis shields her from danger, a tender, witty romance blossoms amid the chaos, blending swashbuckling adventure with the warm, off‑beat charm of a classic fairy‑tale love story.
