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.
Why did I add Swordheart to my bookshelf?
I adore T. Kingfisher’s writing, so I picked this one up as soon as I saw it. I am amazed by just how quickly this author writes, and unfortunately, I can’t always keep up. The reviews for this book look overwhelmingly positive, so I have a feeling that I will really enjoy it once I get the chance to read it.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?


I keep meaning to try this author as I’ve heard good things too! Such a variety of books to choose from too! Hope you enjoy it once you get to read it!
Kingfisher!!! I do like these
I’m really looking forward to this one too.
This author is popular but I haven’t read any of her books.
That’s a new one for me.
