Have Sword, Will Travel is a children's fantasy adventure novel by Garth Nix.While they fish for eels, Odo and Eleanor find a sword buried in river mud. Odo accidentally awakens the sword, a talking blade called Biter. Biter knights Odo, and insists that he goes on a quest. Eleanor, eager to be a knight like her late mother, agrees to be Odo's squire, and they set off to find out what's causing the river to dry up.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Do not confuse this with the martial arts movie of the same name.

Unlike Biter, who operates on Honor Before Reason, Runnel encourages this in Eleanor. She points out that not all foes will be honorable, and a foe like a dragon won't allow you to fight fair.

Adult Fear: Eleanor's father Symon gives her his blessing to go on the quest, but clearly worries that she'll die like her mother did and makes Biter promise to protect her.

Bait the Dog: When Eleanor and Odo hear that another knight is in a village, Odo thinks it means they don't have to fight a dragon alone and Eleanor is eager to see a pro. Although Sir Saskia greets them cordially, she humiliates Odo in a duel the next day and then is revealed to be a Fake Ultimate Hero.

Big Bad: It's revealed that Sir Saskia is this, since she and her brigands were the ones who dammed up the river as a means to starve the people on purpose.

Sir Saskia is not much better. When Quenwulf corners her and her squire, Saskia before she can be judged tries to knife the dragon in the eye. It proves to be a No-Sell.
