A Sword For The Immerland King Book 1 Of The Portals Of Tessalindria Collection

This book is a spiritual soft science fiction book about a planet on the other side of the universe that in the farthest reaches of science fiction and fantasy, will never be visited by human beings from earth. It is the first novel in a collection of "historical fiction" from this small planet of Tessalindria. This story is about a bladesmith who runs afoul of the king by refusing to make a sword for the kings fiftieth birthday. The bladesmith is renowned for his blades but refuses to make blades where the intent is the injury of another of the mankind. The king imprisons the smith until he will relent to make the sword. The smith does not seem to care about his incarceration, but the king's daughter and the smith's son conspire to resolve the impasse between the king and the smith by having the son make the sword. Neither the princess nor the smith's son understand the ramifications of defying the smith and the rest of the story cascades into a final resolution through several consequential and unfortunate deaths that finally close the issue.
