The Blade of Bedlam by Astral Knight

George's life changes forever when he finds a dying knight in the woods who makes him swear an oath to protect a talking magical sword and stop it from being found by the Arch-Fiend, an ancient evil who wants to use its powers to conquer the world. The boy unexpectedly forms a soul bond with the sentient sword who has chaotic powers. However, it's illegal for a peasant to own not only a sword but a magical artefact at that. George tries to hide the sword but eventually gets discovered. He gets taken to the capital for punishment. Nevertheless, the court wizard prevents the king from carrying out the wishes of his scheming advisors and instead takes him under his wing and enrols him in Gallant Academy - a school for heroes! George must keep his wits about him due to the envy of his peers and the spies of the Arch-Fiend. He must learn how to work together with his new found companion, a talking sword, and stop the end of the world, and survive going to the most prestigious academy in the kingdom. Does he have what it take? The fate of the world depends upon it!
