Henry is a thief, con artist, and a self-preservationist. When he gets on the wrong side of Prince Geoffrey Plantagenet due to his part of creating and selling "authentic" historical swords, he is forced to go on a quest for the real Excalibur. He must succeed in retrieving the sword or die like all those who went before him. Never mind the fact that Geoffrey's men will kill him after he gets the sword. Henry is crafty and resourceful, but he is no one's idea of a knight, let alone worthy to pull Excalibur from her resting place. Yet he does so in his wily fashion and is surprised when the sword talks to him. Starting a new chapter in his life, will Henry become more than anyone thought him capable?The Wrong Sword is a funny, yet serious, look into the world of 12th century Paris. Henry is charming in a sleazy way and Excalibur is a sword with a stick up her butt (if she had one!). The dialogue and relationship between Henry and Excalibur is laugh out loud funny. This is a story with an intense message which is told through action packed scenes and well-developed characters. The Wrong Sword is a story which will capture your imagination with colorful descriptions and sword-fighting adventure. Even though it is billed as a YA novel, this is truly a story for all ages to enjoy!The Wrong Sword Series: The Wrong Sword (1)
