A75/100

eBook by Tom Watts

Status unknown2022

Lewis comes from a family that doesn't regard him much, so he sets out on his own into the world, intent on securing an apprenticeship in an interesting profession. What he doesn't expect is to find himself studying artificery — the mystical craft of adding magical effects to everyday objects — in the sunlit village of Sunhampton. Sunhampton is a sleepy little crafter's village of cobbled streets, cozy taverns, and pleasant bakeries. Under an old artificery master, Lewis begins his new life as an apprentice, crafting swords with self-sharpening blades, self-spicing cooking pots, and clocks that can read the future. It'll be hard work — perhaps even dangerous — but with mentors to guide him and friends to help him, Lewis is determined to become the best artificer in the land.
