Overview
Step into the strange, funny, deeply romantic world of the White Rat with this two-book Swordheart collection from beloved fantasy author T. Kingfisher. Book one, Swordheart, follows a sheltered widow and the immortal warrior bound to her family's ancient blade as they flee across a kingdom of bandits and demons. Book two, Daggerbound, hands the spotlight to scholar Learned Edmund, whose own encounter with a magic sword unleashes a very different kind of unlikely hero. Together, these two novels deliver adventure, humor, and genuine heart for readers who love their fantasy with a side of romance.

About the Books
T. Kingfisher's Swordheart series is set within the shared "World of the White Rat" universe, the same richly imagined setting behind her Clocktaur War and Saint of Steel novels. The series opens with Swordheart, in which a lonely widow named Halla inherits a magic sword from her great-uncle, only to accidentally free the ancient, immortal swordsman Sarkis, who has been bound to the blade for centuries. Forced to work together while fleeing Halla's scheming relatives, the pair's journey blends sharp banter, genuine danger, and a slow-burn romance that has made the book a favorite among fantasy readers. The story is the first entry in what Kingfisher has described as a planned trilogy of loosely connected adventures set in the same world. Daggerbound continues the story from a new angle, following Learned Edmund, the disillusioned scholar readers first met accompanying Halla and Sarkis. While transporting a precious relic between temples, Edmund is ambushed by bandits and, out of desperation, draws the "relic" himself, discovering it is in fact another enchanted sword housing an immortal warrior. What follows is a wildly entertaining road-trip adventure filled with strange creatures, an unforgettable opinionated donkey, and a tender, reluctant romance that lets the more bookish, anxious Edmund finally take center stage. Together, Swordheart and Daggerbound showcase Kingfisher's signature mix of cozy humor, sharp dialogue, and emotionally satisfying romantic fantasy, making this pairing a natural read for anyone who loved book one and is eager to return to this world.
