Halla is a housekeeper who has suddenly inherited her great-uncle's estate and, unfortunately, his relatives. Sarkis is an immortal swordsman trapped in a prison of enchanted steel, sworn to protect whoever wields his sword.

When Halla draws the sword that imprisons him, Sarkis finds himself attempting to defend his new wielder against everything from bandits and roving inquisitors to her own in-laws… but the sword itself may prove to be the greatest threat of all.
