{"product_id":"9781643752785","title":"The Demon Sword Asperides","description":"\u003cp\u003eA scheming demon sword and a wannabe knight band together on a (possibly wicked) quest in this fantasy, perfect for fans of Diana Wynne Jones and Terry Pratchett.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the past two hundred years, the demon sword Asperides has led a quiet life. While his physical form has been tasked with guarding the body of an evil sorcerer, the rest of his consciousness has taken a well-earned vacation. That constant need to trick humans into wielding him (at the price of their very souls, of course) was rather draining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNack Furnival, on the other hand, is far from satisfied with his existence. Nack has trained since birth to be a brave and noble knight—but, unfortunately, he isn’t especially good at it. Determined to prove his worth, Nack needs a quest. And to complete that quest, he’ll need the one thing no knight can do without: a sword.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen an attempt to resurrect the evil sorcerer throws Asperides into Nack’s path, the demon sword can’t help but trick the boy into making a contract to become his new owner. And with the newly undead (and very, very angry) sorcerer on their trail, Asperides and Nack find themselves swept up in a bigger adventure than either of them bargained for: saving the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48538933362921,"sku":"9781643752785","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0406\/5548\/7129\/files\/9781643752785.jpg?v=1752171882","url":"https:\/\/redstickreads.com\/products\/9781643752785","provider":"Red Stick Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
