The Artificer

A master artificer wakes up three centuries after his death in the body of a young nobleman with a ruined reputation. Still an artificer at heart, and still in the city he helped build, he sets about reclaiming his craft — just as soon as he deals with a few irritating nobles.

With the family rescued from ruin and the mansion restored, a new commission arrives — one that seems simple enough. New magical pairings and unexpected discoveries complicate the work in ways Alexander did not anticipate.

A commission from an old family friend spirals into a flood of complications. The patron is gravely ill, and only one healer can save him — meaning Alexander must complete the job and track down that healer simultaneously, all while a mysterious death mage lurks in the background.

A new commission leads Alexander into a confrontation with the denizens of the Shadow World — thieves of human souls. His search for answers takes him to a small northern village whose secrets are guarded by far more than just its inhabitants.

Another commission that turns out far from simple. As dangerous details emerge that could shake the Imperial throne, the Voznesensky mansion begins receiving visitors — and not the pleasant kind.

A seemingly routine commission involving a strange plant from distant lands proves more demanding than expected. Earth and Air aspects of magic test Alexander's mastery, and the object of the client's concern grows stranger the closer he looks.

A commission that turns out to be about far more than magic — this time it concerns the human heart, and the outcome will shape more than one destiny. Count Voznesensky must master the craft of the forge, call on nature itself, and offer his new associates an extraordinary chance.

For the first time, Alexander has no client — a friend must be saved. The trail leads into disputed lands ruled by unfamiliar magic, riddled with anomalies, and full of unexpected discoveries. The final magical aspects mark the start of a much longer journey.

Every known magical rank has been claimed and every aspect mastered — but the real journey is just beginning. New worlds lie ahead, and first an old enemy lurking in the shadows must be dealt with, along with phantoms that need destroying once and for all.

The search for a forgotten ability called Gliding leads Alexander across worlds, chasing scraps of legend and rumor. To save his people, he must assemble every piece of the puzzle and forge one of the greatest artifacts ever made — a gate between worlds.
