New York Times bestselling author T. Kingfisher returns to the cozy fantasy world of Swordheart in this deliciously charming sequel.

Four hundred years ago, three warriors were trapped inside enchanted swords, cursed to be immortal servants of whoever wielded the blade. One of them is the Dervish, a restless, fiery soul who hates his captivity and hates his wielders even more, but has never found a way to escape the sword’s magic.

Then one day, a disillusioned scholar named Learned Edmund is tasked with delivering the sword to a distant city, and, in the greatest of peril, draws the blade. The Dervish finds himself bound to a sweet, brilliant, and above all kind young man. And while he 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.

T. Kingfisher

T. Kingfisher, the pen name of award-winning author Ursula Vernon, is a master of blending whimsical fantasy with dark humor. Known for her unique storytelling style, T. Kingfisher writes tales that delve deep into the realms of fantasy, horror, and adventure, often with an unexpected twist of wit and sharp character-driven narratives.

Vernon’s work under the T. Kingfisher name is distinct from her children's books, bringing a more mature tone while maintaining the same vivid world-building and engaging characters that have earned her a dedicated following. Readers are often drawn to the author's ability to create worlds that are both dark and delightful, where the supernatural and the absurd blend seamlessly. Her characters, whether they are battling eldritch creatures or facing life’s mundane challenges, resonate with readers because of their flaws, humor, and resilience.

From the beautifully crafted horror-filled fantasy of The Twisted Ones to the charming yet sinister The Seventh Bride, T. Kingfisher's work is beloved for its capacity to both entertain and unsettle. With a deft hand, she navigates themes of self-discovery, power, and the complexities of human nature, all while inviting readers to laugh and squirm in equal measure.

As Ursula Vernon, she has also gained recognition for her children's books, including the Hugo Award-winning Digger graphic novel series, proving her versatility as an author who can captivate readers of all ages. But as T. Kingfisher, she finds her true niche in crafting fantastical stories that challenge expectations, making her an unforgettable voice in the fantasy genre.
