'Absolutely delightful and full of charm and truth' Naomi Novik, on Thornhedge Halla has unexpectedly inherited the estate of a wealthy uncle. Unfortunately, she is also saddled with money-hungry relatives full of devious plans for how to wrest the inheritance away from her. While locked in her bedroom, Halla inspects the ancient sword that's been collecting dust on the wall since before she moved in. Out of desperation, she unsheathes it¿and suddenly a man appears. 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 Halläa 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. Praise for T. Kingfisher: 'T. Kingfisher solidifies her place as natural and inevitable heir to the greats of her genre, while remaining clearly and unquestionably a unique voice in fantasy' Seanan McGuire 'Exciting, deeply wise, sad, brutal and compassionate all at once. And beautifully written, with a plot as cunning as fine embroidery' Catriona Ward 'Creepy, funny, heartfelt, and full of fantastic characters I absolutely loved' Melissa Caruso, author of The Tethered Mage "Nettle & Bone brings Kingfisher's signature honesty and authenticity to a fairy tale setting the result is refreshing, earnest but not naive, and deeply satisfying. I devoured it. This is one that's going to stay with me for a long time' Sarah Gailey, author of Magic for Liars 'A delight throughout' Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches 'T. Kingfisher uses the bones of fairy tale to create something entirely her own, written in gloriously clear and transparent prose' Emily Tesh, author of Some Desperate Glory 'Funny, frightening, and full of heart; I loved it' Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January 'Charming and macabre, often both at the same time' A. K. Larkwood, author of The Unspoken Name

Heartwarming and hilarious adventure
T. Kingfisher is always able to write such lovable and unique characters that manage to work their way into your heart. In "Swordheart" we follow the respectable widow Halla, who is in her late thirties. She has recently inherited a small fortune and a magic sword with an unexpected surprise... Because once the sword is drawn by Halla, an immortal mercenary named Sarkis is released and now sworn to protect Halla no matter what (especially from her greedy relatives). They both embark on an incredibly entertaining and equally weird mission, where they end up meeting all kinds of new friends and foes along the way. I could not put this book down. It just manages to make you care so much about the charming characters and keeps you hooked with the perfect mix of adventure, humor, a little romance and cozy vibes. Truly recommend this standalone novel to anyone who wants to get into T. Kingfisher's works or simply wishes to be immersed in a fantastical world.
