I seem to have been bad at writing reviews lately, ooops.

Halla is a widow who worked for her husband´s uncle as a housekeeper. Then he died and left it to her. But his family are total assholes and wants to force her to remarry this idiot so they can keep it in the family. She is not ok with this so they keep her locked up.

In comes a magic sword that she takes down to kill herself with. But oh my out comes a big warrior named Sarkis instead.

And the journey begins, and this is really a journey book. They flee to find help from priest lawyers and the journey there and back are filled with danger and adventures.

I liked Halla, she was just so real. She talked to much in the face of danger, but that was just endearing to me. As for Sarkis he speaks a lot about soft southerners, and his story is a sad one. Being stuck and used for 500 years.

It was a good one and the ending left room for more, but now when I look this came out in 2018 and a maybe is scheduled for next year...but it still ended happily so I can be content with that.

Good narration too

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.
