Farm boy Sam Hatcher has just turned 16, the age of “manhood." Having a serious heart to heart talk with his father, Sam leaves the safety of his farm to join the Royal Guard.

The next day Sam is interviewed by Captain Clerret of the Royal Guard. Due to his youth and inexperience the captain refers Sam to Rigby Skeet for his education and training. Rigby Skeet is the kingdoms resident Sword for Hire. Eccentric and quick with the puns Rigby takes Sam under his wing.

King Olive has been dethroned and imprisoned by his scheming brother Boonder. Boonder has employed the evil Boneman to hold his brother prisoner while he enjoys the distinction of being King. King Olive has thought of only two things during his years of captivity, his escape and his hatred for Boonder.

A smuggled note in King Olives’ writing reaches Rigby and Sam and it's now their mission to find and return their beloved King to his rightful throne.

SWORDS FOR HIRE is a charming and funny, wholesome and entertaining story from beginning to end. Being fast paced and engaging SWORDS FOR HIRE will keep the interest of any child.. My own children took one look at the cover and couldn’t wait to get their hands on it. Listening to my kids giggle and hearing them quickly turn pages is a testimonial to this book.
