Synopsis
Not really book 4 but in the same universe as the other books in my series
Imagine waking up with no name, no memory of a past life, and a rather unsettling realization: you are a dagger. Sharp, metallic, and utterly at the mercy of whoever happens to pick you up. This is the unexpected existence of "Stitch," a sentient soul trapped within a blade, and this is his story – told with a wit as keen as his edge.
Forced to experience a vast and dangerous world through the eyes of a succession of often hapless, occasionally heroic, and always entertaining wielders, Stitch can only see when held and, at first, can only subtly influence the bumbling efforts of those who carry him. From the grimy depths of goblin-infested caves where he first helps a particularly dim-witted new owner survive against monstrous spiders and worse, Stitch begins a journey beyond his wildest (and entirely forgotten) dreams.
As Stitch is passed from hand to hand, battle to battle, he starts to feel himself change, growing not just in sharpness but in a strange, dawning awareness. With each new owner and every new scrape, another piece of the puzzle that is his own forgotten identity – and the workings of the world itself – seems to tantalizingly emerge. This is just the beginning of an epic, humor-filled journey, promising many wielders, countless misadventures, and the gradual unraveling of a mystery that lies at the heart of a very unusual hero. Prepare for a long adventure, as Stitch is just starting to get the point of it all.
