For ten years, Iāve been using a magical sword that I won in battle to ruthlessly slay enemies, break evil artifacts, and open stubborn pickle jars, but I donāt know much about it.
Thatās about to change.
Thanks to the fact that Iām dating a powerful dragon, I can get a ride to the dwarven home world, and weāre 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.
Thereās just one problem: a half-dwarf thief has shown up and says sheās the rightful heir to the sword.
I want to believe itās a scam and canāt possibly be true, but I didnāt 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, Iāll be a target for all the bad guys who have been waiting for an opportunity to take me down.
