When Odo and Eleanor stumble upon an ancient sword in a river outside their village, something very unexpected happens ... the sword starts to talk!

Much to Odo's dismay, he discovers that he's awoken a famous enchanted blade called Biter, and thus has instantly become a knight. Eleanor would love to become a knight—but she's not the one with the sword.

Unearthing Biter is only the start of their troubles; soon boy, girl, and sword must depart on a noble quest to save their kingdom from threats—in both human and dragon form.

Have Sword, Will Travel by Garth Nix and Sean Williams is an enchanting tale of adventure, bravery, and unlikely friendships.
