When his cheerful elderly patient Gertrude “Spindle” Spindler completes her latest quilt and informs Zach that a 30-year-old "grand design of nine" has just concluded, Zach’s curiosity is piqued ... and he soon embarks on a quest to unwind the meaning of the woman's cryptic phrase. He isn't expecting a descent into a world filled with mystery and ruthless subcultures -- and he isn't expecting to be haunted by Spindle's coy clues. What is The Great Blade of Blood? What are The Charred? What is the grand design of nine? And who is the dark-skinned stranger stalking Zach at every turn, threatening his life? The answers may lie in Spindle's granddaughter, a willowy self-proclaimed psychic named Hen. But Zach soon discovers that Hen may be crazier than the patients he treats ... and the treasure he's pursuing may be more dangerous -- and deadly -- than he ever imagined. Personal Effects: Sword of Blood is a podcast-exclusive novella written by J.C. Hutchins, author of the 7th Son trilogy. It is a prequel to Hutchins' print novel debut, Personal Effects: Dark Art. 6678374 15 5 2009 Personal Effects: Sword of Blood total:20|5:7|4:8|3:5|2:0|1:0| 20 82 31 0 0 0 false false Tue Nov 24 03:47:46 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 03:47:46 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Nov 18 06:50:29 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 06:50:29 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Nov 05 07:40:14 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 07:40:14 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Oct 15 17:05:58 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 14:51:36 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 14:51:36 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Oct 03 05:21:22 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 05:21:22 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Sep 27 23:53:11 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 23:53:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 25 08:28:20 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 08:28:20 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Sep 01 05:14:31 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 05:14:31 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Aug 30 14:13:09 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 14:13:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 22 08:55:29 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 08:55:50 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Aug 17 20:53:50 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 20:53:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 05 07:25:04 -0700 2009 Fri Nov 20 14:45:31 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 02 17:29:36 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 02 17:29:36 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jul 30 11:21:58 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 11:22:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 28 16:56:16 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 16:56:16 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jul 14 20:36:42 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 19:22:38 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 20:36:42 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Sep 07 10:08:52 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 09 10:22:55 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 10:08:52 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jul 02 00:16:01 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 00:16:01 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Aug 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 20:17:08 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 21:27:38 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jun 27 00:10:36 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 00:10:36 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6487012
