Awakening the Blade: One Sword to Rule Them All

To settle global business disputes, countries form the Blade Commerce League, where fencing matches decide the ownership of valuable interests and resources. Julian Vance dies while competing. His brother, Sebastian Vance, takes over and defeats the Seven-Realm Alliance before vowing never to fence again. He is taken in by the kind-hearted Lillian Hartwell. When her fencing club is threatened and she is kidnapped by foreign rivals, Sebastian is forced back into action.
