This one looks great! Here’s the blurb:
Halla has unexpectedly inherited the estate of the wealthy distant uncle she’s been caring for for the past decade. Unfortunately, she is also saddled with money-hungry relatives full of devious plans for how to wrest the inheritance away from her.
While hiding in her bedroom to escape her family, Halla inspects the ancient sword that’s been collecting dust on the wall since before she moved in. On a whim, she pulls it down and unsheaths it—and suddenly a man appears in her bedroom. His name is Sarkis, he tells her, and he is an immortal warrior trapped in a prison of enchanted steel.
Sarkis is sworn to protect whoever wields the sword, and for Halla—a most unusual wielder—he finds himself not fending off grand armies and deadly assassins but instead everything from kindly-seeming bandits to roving inquisitors to her own in-laws. But as Halla and Sarkis become closer, they overlook the biggest threat of all—the sword itself.

Sarah Dressen’s YA books are just lovely. In our review of this one, we said:
What makes Ms. Dessen’s books so great is the wonderful characterization and realistic conflicts. She is perfect at writing shades of gray situations and experiences, although in this situation the adulteress mother is closer to dark gray…. Even with the slight problems I had with this book, it is very much an insightful look into family dynamics and friendships and a very compelling and gripping read. Adultery typically is a hot issue for me and I still enjoyed this book, so I have to say that this novel has near universal appeal.
