'Written in the traditional form of an epic poem, in which a tale of drama, intrigue and dialogue is recounted in verse, The Two Swords tells the story of a heroine's grand and dangerous odyssey as she seeks to put right a great wrong.

'It is written that the Devil and his Son fought many a massive battle, and whilst the Devil ultimately won, the Son escaped with many protectors and followers, vowing to return to claim both the Devil's and God's domains. But, unknown to the Son, God had assembled a great army, the Two Swords, to protect His children, sending forth the heroic Kal-na to find and kill the Son, along with his protectors and followers.

'Kal-na had always fought alone, ruthlessly destroying those in debt to God, but on this epic quest, battling alongside some unlikely companions had given her an almost human touch.' (Publisher's abstract)
