About “The Sword Rose” by caleb e. king
All his life, Pierce wanted to be a tournament sword-fighter. But his dreams were shelved ever since Ma grew sick. When she is given only months to live, the entire family is overcome with grief. Attempting to cheer everyone up, Pierce’s father organizes a birthday banquet for Ma.
But Pierce chooses to channel his grief into a sword-fighting tournament, hoping to make it big and become so rich he never has to watch his family struggle again. When the tournament falls on Ma’s birthday, Pierce must choose; chase future dreams, or learn to cherish the gift of the present moment.
