Description

Halla never expected to inherit a fortune.

Unfortunately, her wealthy uncle's estate comes with greedy relatives determined to take every bit of it from her. Trapped in her bedroom while her family schemes against her, Halla desperately reaches for an ancient sword hanging on the wall.

She unsheathes it—and a man appears.

Sarkis is an immortal warrior magically imprisoned inside the enchanted blade. Bound by an ancient oath, he's sworn to protect whoever wields the sword. After centuries of battles and bloodshed, he certainly wasn't expecting his newest wielder to be a talkative, unconventional woman whose greatest enemies are her own manipulative relatives.

Together, Halla and Sarkis set off to protect her inheritance, encountering bandits, suspicious inquisitors, unexpected allies, and plenty of trouble along the way. But somewhere between dangerous encounters and hilarious arguments, their reluctant partnership begins turning into something neither expected.

And while Sarkis may be able to protect Halla from almost anything, the greatest danger to their future may be the very sword that brought them together.

Funny, charming, and wonderfully romantic, Swordheart blends cozy fantasy adventure with witty banter, an unconventional heroine, and an immortal bodyguard who's literally summoned whenever she draws her sword.
