Title: Losing My Magic Sword

Quote: "A talking sword that alone had the power to defeat the daemon lord, and you lost it? How?"
Ser Vazadon tells the children the story. It's a short book so all I'll mention are two brief trigger warnings: (1) Killing, obviously, of fantasy creatures but with gory details; and (2) Ser Vazadon is a grandpa figure in the present time of the story, but in the past he's recalling he fought the fantasy creatures alongside another knight who was his "partner" and "love"; the kids know he is or used to be "gay." The story is told with flair and whimsy. The magic sword's personality, the possibility that Vazadon wanted to lose it, are not to be missed.
