For ten years, Iâve been using a magical sword that I won in battle to ruthlessly slay enemies, break evil artifacts, and open stubborn pickle jars, but I donât know much about it.
Thatâs about to change.
Thanks to the fact that Iâm dating a powerful dragon, I can get a ride to the dwarven home world, and weâre going to research the sword's roots. Not that I care much about its history, mind you, but several allies and enemies have suggested it can do a lot more than whack things. Considering the magical bad guys I fight are always stronger, faster, and more powerful than I am, I need every advantage I can get.
Thereâs just one problem: a half-dwarf thief has shown up and says sheâs the rightful heir to the sword.
I want to believe itâs a scam and canât possibly be true, but I didnât get the sword in the most legitimate manner. If I have to give it up, I might not be able to do my job anymore, and just as bad, Iâll be a target for all the bad guys who have been waiting for an opportunity to take me down.
