Secrets of the Blades

Keziah doesn't like getting into other people's troubles. He learned that the hard way, many, many times. What good it does. A "thank you"? A little bit of extra coin? No. Kez knows better than this, he would stick to completing each contract exactly as the instructions say. No extra work, no helping lost puppies along the way, his talking sword gives him enough headaches on its own.

But a peculiar contract would force him to change his attitude, at least for the foreseeable future. He will uncover the secrets of this world, whether he likes it or not.

*********************************

Adventure fantasy with a bit of progression, based technologically on late medieval/renaissance Europe. Magic system based on mana-like energy and controlling elements. No continent shattering powers. No harem, no overly sexual content. I'm trying to aim for 1.5k to 2k words per chapter.
