Leap of Faith - Richard Harrison - Bog

Yes, I'm a leprechaun. Yes, I know I'm tall. I still can't believe that you humans fell for that myth. No, we don't always wear green either, sheesh. Generally you humans aren't all that hard to control. A little misinformation here, a bit of misdirection there, and that's all it takes. You think you rule the world and we leprechauns are happy to let you think so. Life's just easier that way. Every once in a while though, one of you shows a glimmer of intelligence and figures it all out. And now a human has one of our greatest treasures, Claíomh Solais, the sword of Nuada.And we want it back! Normally I wouldn't even be considered for the retrieval team assigned to get it back, but since it was my fault the sword was taken...So, find and retrieve the sword, keep my girlfriend in the dark about me being a leprechaun while keeping my elders from finding out I'm dating a human.Oh, did I mention that the holder of the sword can't be defeated? Piece of cake! Yeah, right.
