The Blades of Destiny have waged a cold war against one another for seven Illuminations, but each time they have met in battle the result has always been a stalemate. This is the story of when Dan'Moread, an intelligent sword crafted of star metal and possessing a mysterious past, teamed with Rimidalv the White Blade to defeat a tyrant who calls himself the Storm Lord. Together with Kanjin and Ser Cavulus, Dan'Moread's and Rimidalv's respective wielders, they drove the army of Stormborn behind the walls of the Storm Fort built against the slopes of Mount Gamour. The events at, and beneath, Mount Gamour will shake the foundation of everything Dan'Moread once believed to be true...and the aftershocks will be felt throughout Sphereworld for years to come.

Joined at the Hilt, Book I: Union (a Sphereworld novel) Randall's life in the city of Three Rivers was not unlike that of any other half-elf, which is to say that it was less than ideal. Ever since the Federation had come to town a decade earlier, his people's way of life had been upended and it was all that he and his friends could do to survive under the oppressive boot of those puritanical invaders. But all of that changed when a chance meeting with a complete stranger set a sequence of events in motion which made it necessary for Randall to pursue life outside the walls of the only place he had ever known. Even armed with a mysterious, enchanted weapon at his side, it will take every resource at the young bartender-turned-gigolo's disposal to survive the hazards of the unknown. He will contend with swamps infested by unusually large rodents, honest-to-the-gods White Knights, a mysterious group called 'Fleshmongers,' a Federation special operative bent on securing Randall's strange weapon for some unknown purpose, and a high stakes game of politics played between the old powers of his world and the new as they struggle for control over the fate of their world. As he deals with the harsh realities of the world outside his birthplace, Randall will discover that the most valuable resource of all is the bond of friendship...no matter how unusual that friendship might be.
