The Living Sword

A sword afraid of violence, a young man ignorant of the world he enters, a warrior stubbornly evading her destiny. So starts a great friendship, and a humble legend.

Eurik was found adrift by the san and raised by them. Though he had read much about the outside world, he'd never considered leaving home. Not until his teacher revealed what he had inherited from his parents: a living sword, a sentient blade of rare power . . . and with it, the names of his father and mother.

Reluctant to go, yet curious, Eurik sets out to discover who they were, and what happened to them. But is he ready for all the attention his heritage will earn him? Can he survive in a world he has only read about?

The Living Sword is a fantasy novella, the print version stands at 119 pages. The paperback version is available on Amazon, Bookshop.org, and Barnes & Noble.

An amusing page-turner of a novella where quest fantasy meets sword and sorcery.

There's a lot more to discover, and I hope the author, Pemry Janes, continues to deliver.
