This has previously been offered free in 2011 both as an ebook (back when affiliate links were still allowed in the main Deals forum and Amazon didn't do that thing where they now deduct from an affiliate's commission for "too many free ebooks clickthroughs vs. paid sales") and also as an audiobook, so you might want to check your archives if you want to do a narrated readalong or whatever.

Currently free @ B&N (also UK) & Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK). Price-drop-check linkage for ChristianBook (DRM-free ePub available worldwide), where sometimes the rare Crossway freebies we get also show up.

Description
Four hundred years after a deadly virus and nuclear war destroyed the modern world, a new and noble civilization emerges. In this kingdom, called Chiveis, snowcapped mountains provide protection, and fields and livestock provide food. The people live medieval-style lives, with almost no knowledge of the "ancient" world. Safe in their natural stronghold, the Chiveisi have everything they need, even their own religion. Christianity has been forgotten—until a young army scout comes across a strange book.

With that discovery, this work of speculative fiction takes readers on a journey that encompasses adventure, romance, and the revelation of the one true God. Through compelling narrative and powerful character development, The Sword speaks to God's goodness, his refusal to tolerate sin, man's need to bow before him, and the eternality and power of his Word. Fantasy and adventure readers will be hooked by this first book in a forthcoming trilogy.
