HTML:<p><b>The delicious bodyguard romance of <i>From Blood and Ash</i> meets the delightful charm of <i>The Princess Bride</i> in this cozy fantasy romance from <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author T. Kingfisher</b><br /> Halla has unexpectedly inherited the estate of the wealthy distant uncle she's been caring for for the past decade. Unfortunately, she is also saddled with money-hungry relatives full of devious plans for how to wrest the inheritance away from her.<br /> While hiding in her bedroom to escape her family, Halla inspects the ancient sword that's been collecting dust on the wall since before she moved in. On a whim, she pulls it down and unsheaths it—and suddenly a man appears in her bedroom. His name is Sarkis, he tells her, and he is an immortal warrior trapped in a prison of enchanted steel.<br /> Sarkis is sworn to protect whoever wields the sword, and for Halla—a most unusual wielder—he finds himself not fending off grand armies and deadly assassins but instead everything from kindly-seeming bandits to roving inquisitors to her own in-laws. But as Halla and Sarkis become closer, they overlook the biggest threat of all—the sword itself.<br /> At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.</p>.
