The Armory of Living Steel

Weapons in the royal armory have started bonding with wielders—literally. They fuse to hands, whisper strategies, and refuse to be set down. At first it seemed like an advantage. Now soldiers can't eat, sleep, or embrace their families. The smith who made them vanished. Separate blade from bearer without killing either, or recruit the bonded for the war they seem to know is coming.
