A scheming Demon Sword and a wannabe knight band together on a (possibly wicked) quest in this fantasy, perfect for fans of Diana Wynne Jones and Terry Pratchett.
And with the newly undead (and very, very angry) sorcerer on their trail, Asperides and Nack find themselves swept up in a bigger adventure than either of them bargained for: saving the world..
When an attempt to resurrect the evil sorcerer throws Asperides into Nack\'s path, the Demon Sword can\'t help but trick the boy into making a contract to become his new owner.
And to complete that quest, he\'ll need the one thing no knight can do without: a sword.
Determined to prove his worth, Nack needs a quest.
Nack has trained since birth to be a brave and noble knight--but, unfortunately, he isn\'t especially good at it.
Nack Furnival, on the other hand, is far from satisfied with his existence.
That constant need to trick humans into wielding him (at the price of their very souls, of course) was rather draining.
While his physical form has been tasked with guarding the body of an evil sorcerer, the rest of his consciousness has taken a well-earned vacation.
For the past two hundred years, the Demon Sword Asperides has led a quiet life.
