Slay your foes. Save the damsels. Level up to become the Master of Swords!
To face down an unstoppable evil, each kingdom of Occida bound the soul of a young woman to their realm’s most powerful weapons. But the enemy’s final act of treachery teleports away the mythical devices, along with the souls trapped inside them.
A century later, Dante Castillo, top dueling performer at the Canterbury Faire, gets yanked off the stage by an impressed goddess. She drops him in the Venetian-style city of Rivoli, where he’s forced to grab the Duke’s prized rapier before escaping into the night.
Castillo evokes the fiery and stunning Contessa who’s been imprisoned within the blade. Her aid proves vital, but he’ll need to fight, train, and level up.
Beyond the walls of the great city, Dante will encounter elves, beast-kin, dragons, barbarians, and the lost women in need of his rescue!
I enjoyed this book. It was one of those Isekai stories, where someone from our world is transported to another world by a God and given a mission. In this case the Dante happens to be a master swordsman in a traveling troop of performers. The Goddess of this world gives him a quest to rescue 6 maidans who have had their souls magically linked to a gem inserted into different swords (ax and knives) who have been dormant since the War of Tears. If the women accept him and love him then that will make him even more powerful. Together they are to stop the God of death and his forces from crushing the other realms. I enjoyed the story; it was interesting that many of the races spoke a variation of Italian, French, German, etc. that the author uses in the book. Near the end I didn't think that the author would be able to conclude the story, but the author brought it all to a satisfying conclusion.
The story thrilled and kept me entertained for hours. I loved the storyline, the action and adventure, and of course, the beautiful swordmaidens. It you enjoy great fantasy, then you will enjoy this world of passion, play, and adventure.
The story moved along quickly enough to hold my interest. Actually the sex wasn't needed to keep the story moving. It kept me turning pages into the night.
