The Book

The prose doorway into Owen's inheritance, Clara's debt, Harlan's regret, and Maab's claim on the family line.

Grandfather's Sword ebook cover

Description

A family legend with teeth.

When Owen inherits Grandfather's Sword, he also inherits every unfinished argument attached to it: a father's quiet courage, a grandfather's dangerous fame, and a forest queen who remembers debts better than mercy.

The book version lets readers live inside the choices that the musical turns into song: the first step into the trees, the cost of being rescued, and the harder bravery of coming home.

Interior Line Art

Black-and-white illustrations from inside the book, showing a few moments from Owen's inheritance and the road into the old forest.
