‘Every sword has a name. Every sword worth knowing, at least.’
Burke repeated the words over and over again in his mind. ’Every sword has a name,’ his own voice said, echoing inside his skull. No one had ever said those words to him. No one he had known, anyhow. An author had written them in a novel. It wasn’t even a good one, but the young squire had found it interesting. He was fifteen now, and while he had been catching wise words from the knight he was squired to, Sir Moor, the boy was more apt to listen to those words written by unknown writers who made less coin than a sewer jack for all their hard work.
