The Warrior

Growing up in a broken home, Tate Lockman held a knife before he could swing a fist.  When good fortune lands him on the doorstep of his childhood friend's home, holding a knife, he fears he's about to lose the only thing he's ever loved. Instead, he's given the opportunity to escape the tormented existence he was born into.  Years and a lifetime later, Tate finds himself reenacting a battle with sword and shield.
The winner, takes home the mythical Sword In The Stone! And when his fingers brush, the rusted blade trapped in rock. He hears a voice, calling for him to take up the mantle, of The Warrior.  Thrust into a brutal world, Tate and his Elven, shape-shifting companion quickly learn that all is not well. The humans and the elves are at war. Corruption has spread through the world, and nowhere is safe to hide.
Forced, unwilling into conflict, Tate butts heads with the lord of this land. A man armed with his own special blade. And the fate of the world holds its breath.  Contains: Graphic violence, beatings, soul-bound weapons, explicit adult situations, MF, mentions of FF, and the beginnings of a harem.
