Just finished "The Misenchanted Sword", by Lawrence Watt-Evans. I bought this a very, very long time ago - I forget where and when, but it was probably from Fictionwise around 2000 or so.
An extremely enjoyable fantasy novel. Valder, a young scout in the army of Ethshar, comes across an old wizard while trying to evade capture by soldiers of the Northern Empire. The wizard puts a spell on Valder's sword, to aid him in finding his way back to his base, but the spells are cast in difficult circumstances, and Valder finds himself the owner of a sword he can't get rid of, which has extremely inconvenient magical properties (saying more would be a spoiler).
Very good indeed. I look forward to reading more from this author.
