If there's one thing Aelfric knows, it's slaying monsters.
Yesterday's eager heroes are today's weary leaders – and some have turned to the darkness, becoming monsters themselves. But they are wandering adventurers no longer. Now, when Aelfric – keeper of the cursed sword Spellbreaker – learns of a new and terrifying threat, he seeks the nine heroes once again. Many years ago, Sir Aelfric and his nine companions saved the world, seizing the Dark Lord's cursed weapons, along with his dread city of Necrad. It’s an absolute blast.” ― Justin Lee Anderson, author of The Lost War " The Sword Defiant is a treat for all fantasy fans. Set in a world of dark myth and dangerous prophecy, this thrilling fantasy launches an epic tale of daring warriors, living weapons, and bloodthirsty vengeance.
