Half Sword is a historical fantasy novel that follows Simon the fool as he is pursued across medieval Europe by a sinister league of conjurers called the Apostles of Light. With only a broken sword and his shattered memories, Simon must uncover who he is and why he is drawn to 12th century Rome amidst a struggle for power between warring factions.

We’ll find out what to expect from the Tapestry Codices series and maybe get some spoiler-free highlights of what’s to come in the next 3 planned books. We’ll discuss Simon's journey across Europe, recovering his lost memories and uncovering his purpose amidst warring factions wielding dangerous magic.
