Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author T. Kingfisher returns to the charming fantasy world of Swordheart in this delightful and unexpected new romantic adventure.
Learned Edmund, a disillusioned scholar, is transporting yet another precious relic from one stuffy temple to a different stuffy temple. Another great adventure for the ages…
But when Edmund is set upon by bandits, in desperation, he breaks the cardinal rule and grabs for the relic, an ancient sword. To his surprise, instead of unsheathing a rusty, ancient weapon, an alarmingly handsome man appears, wielding daggers of blue steel and cutting the thieves down.
This man is the Dervish, an immortal warrior who’s been trapped for centuries in a sword of enchanted steel, and is angry as hell about it. He hates the curse that put him there, and he wants to hate Edmund, just as he has hated every wielder before him.
But the damned scholar is just so sweet and clever and kind. And while the Dervish may be able to protect Edmund from bandits, cultists, dragons, and strange inhuman diplomats, he may find it much harder to protect his own heart.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A magical mishap leads to an utterly charming romance in this cozy fantasy from T. Kingfisher. Sweet, sometimes bumbling scholar Learned Edmund doesn’t know what’s so special about the ancient sword he’s delivering to a temple down the road. But when he’s attacked by thieves, he finds out. An immortal knight called the Dervish, who was trapped inside the sword by a curse, suddenly appears and dispatches the robbers with ease. It’s impossible not to root for these beautifully drawn characters even before romance blossoms between them—Learned’s awkward, unpretentious goodness is undeniably endearing, especially in the face of the Dervish’s haughty, cynical exterior. As their growing found family keeps the story tender and gently funny, Kingfisher weaves in thoughtful, hopeful ideas about recognizing the humanity in one another. Settle in somewhere comfortable for this delightful tale.
