Have Sword, Will Travel

In Have Sword, Will Travel, Odo and Eleanor's adventure begins with a grumpy, talking sword, leading them on a quest filled with humor and magic.

In Have Sword, Will Travel, readers are introduced to Odo, the seventh child of a village miller, and Eleanor, a girl with an insatiable thirst for adventure. Their journey begins when they stumble upon Biter, a legendary sword, in a dried-up riverbed. While Eleanor, strong and capable, struggles to pull the sword free, it is Odo who unexpectedly succeeds. However, the joy of discovery quickly turns into annoyance as Biter, the talking sword, reveals itself to be grumpy, stubborn, and often catastrophically incorrect.

Together, Odo and Eleanor find themselves thrust into a world of knights, dragons, and magic. With Odo now a knight—despite his utter lack of suitability for the role—and Eleanor yearning to embrace the knightly life, their dynamic adds a humorous twist to their quest. The reluctant knight and his determined squire must navigate the challenges of their new roles while dealing with Biter's often misguided advice.

Have Sword, Will Travel is a brilliantly funny tale that captures the essence of friendship, bravery, and the unexpected turns of a fantasy journey, making it a delightful read for fans of whimsical stories, reminiscent of the charm found in Shrek.
