The master sword competition

Details

Kaelen Thorne, a cunning penny thief with no heroic delusions, accidentally activates his prize—Sun Tzu's legendary Sword of 10,000 Warriors—during a bungled heist, earning a summons to the Master Sword Competition. This clandestine tournament pits magical blades against each other for supremacy, a fight Kaelen wants no part of. The sword’s spirit, a strategic and oddly caring war golem summoner, dragoons the reluctant Kaelen into the contest. Forced to outwit rival wielders and their own mighty swords, each with unique powers like flame or ice, Kaelen must learn to fight for something more than just survival, all while keeping his criminal past a deadly secret from the powerful, honorable contestants he now faces.
