Halla is a housekeeper who has suddenly inherited her great-uncle’s estate… and, unfortunately, his relatives. Sarkis is an immortal swordsman trapped in a prison of enchanted steel. When Halla draws the sword that imprisons him, Sarkis finds himself attempting to defend his new wielder against everything from bandits and roving inquisitors to her own in-laws… and the sword itself may prove to be the greatest threat of all.
My Take
So delightful to once again read a romance featuring someone other than pretty young things. Really enjoyed the characters, both the main couple and the Rat priest. Flawed, realistic, fun to be around. This was my second visit to this world. The first, Paladin’s Grace, was also great. So glad there are more to read!
