Kingfisher<br/><br/>*This beautiful hardcover edition features turquoise sprayed edges, a foil stamp on the casing, and custom endpapers.*<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>While hiding in her bedroom, 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.<br/><br/>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.
