HTML:<b>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.​<br /> "<i>The Sword Defiant&#160;</i>is a&#160;treat for all fantasy fans . . . . It’s an absolute blast.” ― Justin Lee Anderson, author of <i>The Lost War</i></b><br /> 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. That was the easy part.<br /> Now, when Aelfric - keeper of the cursed sword Spellbreaker - learns of a new and terrifying threat, he seeks the nine heroes once again. But they are wandering adventurers no longer. Yesterday's eager heroes are today's weary leaders - and some have turned to the darkness, becoming monsters themselves.<br /> If there's one thing Aelfric knows, it's slaying monsters. Even if they used to be his friends.<br /> <b>"In the tradition of Tolkien and Eddings, with a richly detailed narrative, well-drawn characters, epic battles, and political and religious intrigues, Hanrahan's outstanding first outing in the Lands of the Firstborn series will thrill fantasy readers—who will anxiously await the next book."&#160;―&#160;<i>Booklist&#160;</i>(starred review)<br /> "This novel has the potential to become a fan-favorite among those who appreciate vast and eloquent epic fantasy.
