Her Father's Sword is a short story, included in the Book of Swords anthology. It was released in October 2017.

The story takes place in a small fishing village during the early years of the Red Ship Wars and Forging. Fitz is a character, though not the main focus of the tale.[1]

The main character is Taura, a young woman whose village has just been raided. Her father was one of the villagers taken by the Red Ships, and her family home was destroyed. Along with her mother and brother, Taura is staying with their neighbour Jelin and his family, having traded her father's sword for shelter.
