Whether it's a sword bespelled to crave blood, cold steel that magicks its wielder into a video game, or a dwarf-crafted blade meant to slay a dragon, these weapons each come sheathed in their own fascinating story that cuts right to the heart of fantasy adventure.

Swordplay review by ALue

ALue

Swordplay is a collection of 17 stories revolving around the world of swords. These stories range from ancient samurai swords to long medieval swords cast by mythical dwarves. Swordplay gives one of the deadliest weapons a center stage in multiple time periods (past and present) and various locations around the world (from Basra to Hollywood).This wide variety of stories about cursed daggers and famous cutlasses opens the imagination of readers to a much broader perspective of swords in our everyday lives.
