An excellent day for trouble
The Blade Between
The old sword does not cut people. It cuts the things that follow them — the worry, the grudge, the long grey shape at the end of the hall. Tonight it chooses your character to carry it.

An old sword chooses your character as its carrier, but its edge cannot wound a person. Instead, it cuts the worry and grudges that trail behind them. Learning what to strike means looking past each person to the burden taking shape nearby. Then a long gray shape waits at the end of the hall, and carrying the blade becomes something more difficult than understanding its purpose.
For you if a thoughtful supernatural encounter suits a quiet evening.
What is inside this book?
The twelve pages center on an unusual sword, learning what its edge can cut, and the gray shape waiting down a hall. You read one or two short sentences per page. Comic illustrations give worry and grudges a visible presence around people, making the blade’s purpose something you can picture as well as read about.
Who is this one for?
Choose this for someone you know who likes supernatural stories with an emotional idea at the center. Worry and grudges become things to confront, making the sword’s purpose the main attraction. It suits a quiet evening when you want something thoughtful, strange, and touched by the unease of a waiting presence.
The Blade Between is a personalized illustrated storybook of twelve pages about a sword that cuts worry and grudges.
