'When Odo and Eleanor stumble upon an ancient sword in a river outside their village, something very unexpected happens . . . the sword starts to talk! Much to Odo's dismay he discovers that he's awoken a famous enchanted blade called Biter, and thus has instantly become a knight. Eleanor would love to become a knight— but she's not the one with the sword. Unearthing Biter is only the start of their troubles; soon boy, girl and sword must depart on a noble quest to save their kingdom from threats—in both human and dragon form.'

'Odo and Eleanor did not set out to find their destiny. At best they were hoping for eels. the comical anticlimax if the opening tells us that we are once again in the hands of masters : that this new, somewhat medieaval-tasting series will live up to the reputation of this talented duo - one working from Sydney, one from Adelaide - for providing topical, well-written entertaining fantasy and unobtrusively modelling high ethical standards.'
