First I should say this is not a science fiction or fantasy

Ralestone's Luck By Andre Norton (c 1938 r 1966) The Ralestone luck is a sword known as the luck of Lorne., a great blade forged during the Crusades by an Arab astrologer. It's been gone for over a century. Now the Ralestones must find it or lose every thing they have. First I should say this it is not a science fiction or fantasy that Ms. Norton is so famous for. It is her second book, an adventure story following the The Prince Commands Prince Commands, also not a science fiction or fantasy, just a good adventure story. I recommend this book for Andre Norton completest and fans of adventure stories that do not have any graphic sex, just great fun. Gunner, July, 2009

I have read this book so many times sense I first got it in the early 80's . She was the first sci fi writer I ever read . No Night Without Stars was the book . This one is fiction with pirate lore and the Old South . Two brothers and their sister search for a lost sword they hope will return their luck . It's a fun adventure .
